My way-far-ing ways took me a-way
From the girl I loved so true
I kissed her on the cheek
‘Neath the old chest-nut tree
When I bid her a-dieu
The road I did ride was full of tears
I was so lone-some I could cry
Now I think of that girl
‘Neath the old chest-nut tree
As I lay down to die
So bu-ry me ‘neath the old chest-nut tree
That we carved our names up-on
And this lone-some old cow-boy
Will fi-n’lly rest in peace
And that tree will still stand
And that tree will still stand
When I’m gone
I’ll lie ‘neath the old chest-nut tree
