Carter Family - Dark Haired True Lover guitar chord

I (F)once had a dark haired true lover

She was (C) all this world to (F) me

She (B) promised herself to (F)another

Now (C) don't you think this was (F) mean

Take (F) back every word you have spoken

Let it (C) be as though we never (F) met

For (B) tonight I'm a poor boy heart-(F)-broken

I'll for-(C)-give but I'll never for-(F)-get

I was young when I wrote my first letter

I blotted the lines with tears

But now I am old, I know better

We've parted for many long years

chorus

Oh, Ruth, Oh, Ruth, how I love you

You just seemed to me like a bird

Although you went back on your promise

Although you went back on your word

chorus

We parted in the month of September

Some says we parted for life

But I hope some day or another

I'll call you my sweet darling wife

chorus

I wish I had someone to love me

Someone to call me their own

For I'm out in this wide world a-wandering

I'm tired of living alone
