6-6 -7  -7  -6  -6  6  5    5
Oh, Tom-big-bee riv-er so bright
-4  -3 -4  6 -6 -7   -7  -7
I was born in a hut made of
 -8   -7 -8   8   -8  -7   -6
Husks of the tall yel-low corn
6-6  -7  -7  -6   -6
And there I first met 
 6   5   5  -4 -3  -4
With my Jul-ia so true
 6 -6  -7   -7 -7  -8...
And I rowed her a-bout
-7 6  -7   -6  6   6
In my gum-tree ca-noe
 -7  -7  -8 -7 -8   8
Sing-ing row a-way row
 -8  -8  -8  -7  6   -6
O’er the wa-ters so blue
 6  -6  -7   -8  -7    -6 6
Like a feath-er we’ll float
5  5  -4   -7  -6  6
In my gum-tree ca-noe
