She come down from Oklahoma
G
With her brown-eyed pride and joy
C
She come down from Oklahoma
G
With her brown eyed pride and joy
D C
The fair-haired Desdemona
G
And her rambling guitar boy
C
Well they kept to the thorn-brake thickets
G
'Cause her daddy was a log-chain man
C
Yeah they kept to the thorn-brake thickets
G
'Cause her daddy was a log-chain man
D C
On a night as long and wicked
G
As the scar on his tattooed hand
C
Fly away, fly away, little wildwood flower
G
Lift your cares to the wind, coyote, and whine
D
Your rolling tears, your restless visions
C Bb A4 C4 G
Rattle up to love, the magician
C
Well he tracked 'em by the muddy waters
G
And he trailed 'em by the lonely lake
C
Yeah, he tracked 'em by the muddy waters
G
And he trailed 'em by the lonely lake
D C
But he only saw two black otters
G
Swimming over by the farther bank

C G D C Bb A4 C4 G
C
They stole through the head-high blossoms
G
When he set his hound dogs run
C
Yeah, they stole through the head-high blossoms
G
When he set his hound dogs run
D C
And the dogs treed two white possums
G
At the rising of an angry sun
C
Fly away, fly away, little wildwood flower
G
Lift your cares to the wind, coyote, and whine
D
Your rolling tears, your restless visions
C Bb A4 C4 G
Rattle up to love, the magician
C
When her daddy rode in to find 'em
G
There wasn't nothing for to meet the eye
C
When the old man come to find 'em
G
There wasn't nothing for to meet the eye
D
Just a pair of lovebirds, rising
C G C G
In the blue and boundless sky
