Intro 

C 
My sweetheart has gone and left me 
       F               C 
And my little sisters, too 
        F             C 
And I'm left alone in sadness 
        G                  C 
Lord, I don't know what to do 

C 
All this world has turned against me 
            F             C     
Nothing but trouble do I see 
           F          C 
There will be no more pleasure 
        G                    C 
In this whole wide world for me 


Instrumental break 

Oh, I am just from East Virginia 
With a heart so brave and true 
And I learned to love a maiden 
With eyes of heavenly blue 

That same day I packed my suitcase 
And I started to go away 
But she met me at the station 
Saying, darling, won't you stay 

Instrumental break 

Oh, I am dying, Captain, dying 
Won't you take these words for me 
Take them over to the jailhouse 
Let this whole wide world go free
