[Verse 1]
  Em
I had a pretty daughter we lived all alone

D                                              Em
Worked the fields together and made our self a home

  Em
I sent her off to school and rested in the shade

    D                                      Em
Had supper on the table and my bed already made

    Em
The women in the town taught her how to dress

  D                                                   Em
I taught her about farming, in school she learned the rest

       Em
Pretty daughter don’t you love me or I’ll be left alone

        D                                       Em
There’s no one in the holler that I can call my own

  Em
I know some day a man will come and take you far away

    D                                              Em
And every morn' since you was born I pray it ain’t today
[Chorus]
       Em
Pretty daughter

       D
Pretty daughter
[Verse 2]
  Em
I caught her in the woods with a boy from town

  D                                            Em
I took a pick axe to him and laid him right on down

    Em
The sheriff came a lookin' bout noon the next day

   D                                                  Em
By six o clock they locked him up and throw'd the key away

       Em
Pretty daughter don’t you love me or I’ll be left alone

        D                                       Em
There’s no one in the holler that I can call my own

  Em
I know some day a man will come and take you far away

    D                                              Em
And every morn' since you was born I pray it ain’t today
