We only knew each other by a letter

                            C

I went to meet her off the train

C                                        Bb

When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still

                                     C

She was standing there and speaking my name

C                                Bb

I guarantee she looked like an angel

                                  C

I couldn't think of what I should say

C                              Bb

But when Adam saw Eve in the garden

                                C

I believe he felt the selfsame way

C                        Bb

I handed her up on the wagon

                             C

And I loaded up her trunk behind

C                                       Bb

She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair

                                  C

And I tried to get a hold of my mind

F                                    C

Do you think that you could love me Mary

F                       D#          F

Do you think we got a chance of a life

C                                 Bb

Do you think that you could love me Mary

Bb                   C

Now you are to be my wife

C                                Bb

We finally headed out of the station

                            C

And we drove up the home trail

C                                              Bb

And when we came on the farm she laid a hand on my arm

                                C

I thought my resolution would fail

C                                   Bb

And I froze as she stepped in the doorway

                              C

Stood there as still as could be

C                                                Bb

I said I know it ain't much, it needs a woman's touch

                                    C

Lord she turned around and looked at me

F                                    C

Do you think that you could love me Mary

F                         D#        F

Do you think we got a chance of a life

C                                    Bb

Do you think that you could love me Mary

Bb                    C

Now you are to be my wife

C                   Bb

We had a prairie wedding

                                    C

There was a preacher and a neighbor or two

C                                     Bb

I gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring

                          C

And the both of us said I do

C                                  Bb

When the sun's going down on the prairie

                              C

And the gold in her hair is aflame

C                             Bb

I say do you really love me Mary

                                C

And I hold her and I whisper her name

F                                   C

Do you think that you could love me Mary

F                      D#          F

Do you think we got a chance of a life

C                                    Bb

Do you think that you could love me Mary

Bb                     C

Now you are to be my wife
