Oh, Mary was a maiden
         F              C
When the birds began to sing
Dm                       F
She was sweeter than the blooming rose
   C            Dm
So early in the spring

    Dm            A7      Dm
Her thoughts were gay and happy
        F               C
And the morning gay and fine
Dm                  F
For her lover was a river boy
         C            Dm
From the river in the pines

Now Charlie, he got married
       F           C
To his Mary in the spring
Dm                          F
When the trees were budding early
        C              Dm
And the birds began to sing

    Dm    A7     Dm
But early in the autumn
         F               C
When the fruit is in the wine
Dm                     F
I'll return to you, my darling
         C            Dm
From the river in the pines

It was early in the morning
      F               C
In Wisconsin's dreary clime
Dm                     F
When he rode the fatal rapids
         C              Dm
For that last and fatal time

     Dm        A7   Dm
They found his body lying
       F             C
On the rocky shore below
Dm                     F
Where the silent water ripples
        C                 Dm
And the whispering cedars blow

    Dm    A7      Dm
Now every raft of lumber
           F              C
That comes down the Chippewa
Dm                            F
There's a lonely grave that's visited
   C                Dm
By drivers on their way

     Dm         A7        Dm
They plant wild flowers upon it
       F                C
In the morning fair and fine
Dm                          F
'Tis the grave of two young lovers
         C            Dm
From the river in the pines
