[Verse 1]
Dear [D]Sarah,
I'm stuck on this [G]train
bound for [D]Richmond
We [G]marched down from [D]Kernstown
[A]up the hill all the way
When the [D]train stopped in Scranton
we [G]pulled [D]up and climbed on
[G]An d [D]we just sat there for [A]a night
and a day
[D]and the[A] nights are long
But I write [D]you every day
and hum the [A]song
that you [D]used to sing
The one of Sweet William,
his [G]love, [D]Boreal,
and [G]how she was [D]always a [A]long
ways [D]away[G][D][A]
[G][D][G][D]
My insides are all torn
from [G]hard tack and [D]parched corn
My [G]hat flew in a wind[D]storm
and the [A]sun has burned me red
For the [D]first chance to lie still
I [G]pulled out your [D]Bible
[G]Fell fast [D]asleep before
[A]one verse was [D]read
and the night turned [A]long
Better write [D]you every day a humble [A]song
That you [D]used to sing
The one of sweet William is [G]love,
Barbara [D]Ellen
[G]How she was [D]always a [A]long ways
[D]away

[Verse 2]
Dear Sarah, [D]I'm pardoned,
keep [G]me in your heart
[D]And I do not[G] drink and gam[D]ble
like I [A]promised you I do
So as [D]not to mislead you
I [G]thought we might [D]need to
As [G]we were surroun[D]ded
and [A]it looked like we were [D]through
And [A]the nights were long
But I write [D]you every day
in a humming [A]song
That you [D]used to sing
The one of sweet William,
his [G]love, Barbar[D]y Ellen
[G]How she was [D]always a [A]long ways [D]away
The one of sweet William, his [G]love
Barbar[D]y Ellen
[G]How she was [D]always a [A]-long ways [D]away
In Scarlet Town, where [G]I was b[D]orn
There was a [A]fair maid [D]a -dwellin'
And many a [G]lad cried well away
[D]For the lov[A]e of Barbary A[G]lley
[D]
