Key: G
Harp: C

-3  5   -6 -5  5   4  -3
My name it is Joe Bow-ers
 4    5  4  -3  -3” -3
I’ve got a broth-er Ike
-6 -5   5   -5  -6  -7  -7
I came from old Mis-sou-ri
 -6   6  -6   5   -6   -5
Just all the way from Pike
 -6   -5   5  -5 -6  -7   -7
I’ll tell you how I came here
-6   6 -6  5   -6  -5
And how I came to roam
-3    5   -6  -5   5  4  -3
And leave my poor old ma-ma
4   5  4 -3   -3”  -3
So far a-way from home
