[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
[Outro]
Em
Pretty daughter

Had supper on the table and my bed already made

Pretty daughter don’t you love me or I’ll be left alone
There’s no one in the holler that I can call my own
I know some day a man will come and take you far away
And every morn' since you was born I pray it ain’t today
Pretty daughter, Pretty daughter

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