[Verse]
                  G              C            G
She pulled the letter from the pages of her Bible

       G            D                  G
And a rose pressed inside the book of Luke

             G                      C                G
For fourteen years she'd write each day but keep it hidden

             G             D                  G
Refused to even speak his name, but still she wrote
[Chorus]

If you ever get south of Cincinnati I'll be yours again
[Verse]
        G        C            G
At a cold gray apartment in Chicago

            G        D               G
A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin

              G                   C               G
He lies there drunk, but it don't matter drunk or sober

              G                  D                   G
He'll never read the words that pride won't let her send
[Chorus]

If you ever get south of the Mason-Dixon to the home you left so long ago

If you ever get south of the Ohio River down where Dixieland begins
