My daddy was a handsome gambler he had a chain five miles long
D Bm E D Bm E
On every link a heart did dangle of another maid he'd loved and wronged
Bm A
He'd tell to you some loving story
Bm F#m
He'd make you think he believed them true
D Bm E D Bm E
But love grows cold as love grows older and fades away like morning dew
Bm A Bm F#m
I'd rather be in some dark hollow where the sun refused to shine
D Bm E D Bm E
Than to live here in Missouri with your memory always haunting my mind
Bm A Bm F#m
Come all ye fair and tender ladies take warning how you court your men
D Bm E
They're like a star on a summer's morning
D Bm E
First they appear then they're gone again
