Little Girl That Played Upon My Knee

       D                        D7           G           D
    Many years have passed away and gone,
                                             A
    since I left my old native home,
                D           D7                  G              D
    since I left the scenes of my childhood there,
                       A              A7         D
    where the dark days seem to roam.

       D        D7     G          D
    I left my aged father there,
                                                   A
    and my mother so dear unto me,
       D        D7       G                D
    I left a brother and a sister fair,
               A                   A7                        D
    and a little girl that played upon my knee.

                D           D7          G                    D
    Don't Ginny remember, will she e'er forget
                                                         A
    those many hours of pleasure to me.
                     D                       D7                    G                  D
    Does she sigh when she thinks of those many happy hours,
                 A                   A7                        D
    when a little girl she played upon my knee ?

              D               D7                     G         D
    I am homeward bound with the thrills of joy
                                                       A
    of my wandering so far o'er the sea.
                 D                  D7           G               D
    I shall soon see my home, my old native home
                  A                   A7                        D
    and the little girl that played upon my knee.

             D         D7     G        D
    I am tired of life, I cannot live,
                                                        A
    in this dark world so weary unto me.
                 D          D7             G                   D
    Come bury me low by the one I love so well,
                A                   A7                       D
    by the little girl that played upon my knee.
