[Verse 1]
    Dm   A7    DmOh, Mary was a maiden
         F              CWhen the birds began to sing
Dm                       FShe was sweeter than the blooming rose
   C            DmSo early in the spring

[Verse 2]
    Dm            A7      DmHer thoughts were gay and happy
        F               CAnd the morning gay and fine
Dm                  FFor her lover was a river boy
         C            DmFrom the river in the pines

[Verse 3]
    Dm       A7     DmNow Charlie, he got married
       F           CTo his Mary in the spring
Dm                          FWhen the trees were budding early
        C              DmAnd the birds began to sing

[Verse 4]

    Dm    A7     DmBut early in the autumn
         F               CWhen the fruit is in the wine
Dm                     FI'll return to you, my darling
         C            DmFrom the river in the pines

[Verse 5]
       Dm    A7     DmIt was early in the morning
      F               CIn Wisconsin's dreary clime
Dm                     FWhen he rode the fatal rapids
         C              DmFor that last and fatal time

[Verse 6]
     Dm        A7   DmThey found his body lying
       F             COn the rocky shore below
Dm                     FWhere the silent water ripples
        C                 DmAnd the whispering cedars blow

[Verse 7]
    Dm    A7      DmNow every raft of lumber
           F              CThat comes down the Chippewa
Dm                            FThere's a lonely grave that's visited
   C                DmBy drivers on their way

[Verse 8]

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