Oh, Tom-big-bee riv-er so bright
4 -3”  4   -5 6 -6   -6  -6
I was born in a hut made of
  7   -6  7   -8   7  -6   6
Husks of the tall yel-low corn
-56  -6  -6   6    6
And there I first met 
 -5  -4 -4  4  -3” 4
With my Jul-ia so true
-5  6  -6   -6 -6  7...
And I rowed her a-bout
-6 -5 -6   6   -5 -5
In my gum-tree ca-noe
 -6  -6   7 -6  7  -8
Sing-ing row a-way row
 7    7  7   -6  -5  6
O’er the wa-ters so blue
 -5  6  -6   7   -6    6 -5
Like a feath-er we’ll float
-4 -4  4   -6  6  -5
In my gum-tree ca-noe
