7-7 -8  -8  -7  -7  7  6    6
Oh, Tom-big-bee riv-er so bright
-5 -4  -5  7 -7 -8   -8  -8
I was born in a hut made of
 -9   -8 -9   10  -9  -8   -7
Husks of the tall yel-low corn
7-7  -8  -8  -7   -7
And there I first met 
 7   6   6  -5 -4  -5
With my Jul-ia so true
 7 -7  -8   -8 -8  -9...
And I rowed her a-bout
-8 7  -8   -7  7   7
In my gum-tree ca-noe
 -8  -8  -9 -8 -9  10
Sing-ing row a-way row
 -9  -9  -9  -8  7   -7
O’er the wa-ters so blue
 7  -7  -8   -9  -8    -7 7
Like a feath-er we’ll float
6  6  -5   -8  -7  7
In my gum-tree ca-noe
