Lyrics
Am C G
Oh Mary was a maiden
Dm Am
The birds began to sing
C G
She was fairer than the bloomin’
F Am
Rose in early spring
Her thoughts were fair and happy
The mornin’ was gay and fine
Her lover was a river boy
From the river in the pines
Charlie he got married
To his Mary in the spring
When the trees were budding early
And the birds began to sing
Early in the autumn
When the fruit is in the wine
I’ll return to you my darling
From the river in the pines
Solo 1
Early in the mornin’
Wisconsin’s dreary clime
Where they rolled the fatal rapids
For the last and fatal time
They found the bodies lying on
The rocky shore below
Where the silent water rippled
And the whisperin’ cedars blow
Now every raft of lumber
That comes down the Chippewa
There’s a lovely grave that’s visited
By the drivers on their way
They lay the wild flowers on
In the mornin’ fair and fine
It’s a grave of two young lovers
From the river in the pines
Solo 2
Key Board Solo
Oh Mary was a maiden
And the birds began to see
She was fairer than the bloomin’
Rose in early spring
