Bringing fire wood up the river banks

When the water is way down low
     A                 D
Build a fire a little higher
                    E           A
You come herw and warm your toes

   A                      D
When the morrow In the morning
       A                E
There's nothing much to see
       A                     D
We'll be slumberin' on the Cumberland
        E            A
Marie, just you and me
