     G               D         C          G
When first unto this country a stranger I came
  C         D          C             G
I courted a fair maid, Nancy was her name
  G               D         C               G
I courted her for love, her love I didn't obtain
       C              D         C           G
Do you think I've any reason or right to complain


I rode to see my Nancy, I rode both day and night
I rode to see my Nancy, my own heart's true delight
I rode to see my Nancy, I rode both night and day
Till I spied a fine grey horse, belonged to captain Grey

I can hear that wind   blowin' in my mind

 But you were always there to answer when I'd call

 You and me, we had it all


Remember how I use to touch your hair
Reaching for the feeling that was always there
You were the best thing in my life, as I recall [I remember]
You and me, we had it all 

C           G        C
Away by the river so clear,
    C           G             C
The ladies were winding their way,
    G
And Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down in the water
   C            F           C
To bathe in the cool of the day.
  C       F/c C        C      F/c C
Before it was dark she opened the ark
                    G          C
And found the sweet infant was there.


And away by the waters so blue,
The infant was lonely and sad.
She took him in pity and thought him so pretty
And it made little Moses so glad.
She called him her own, her beautiful son
