Balsam Range - Caney fork river

It's a ^Glong, long ^Emway from the ^Chills of Caro^Amlina, to the ^Garms of my ^Emdarling in ^CJackson, Tenne^Dssee. And it's a ^Ghard, hard ^Emway to ^Ctry to make a ^Amliving, but it's the ^Gquickest way to ^Emget ahead, ^Cboth of ^Dus ag^Gree.

And it's been ^Gtwenty-seven ^Emweeks, but it ^Cseems more like fo^Amrever, ^Gstill the pay was ^Emgood and ^Cworth the sacri^Dfice. The ^Gwork is finally ^Emover and I'm ^Cgetting close to ^AmJackson ^GI can't wait to ^Emsee her and I ^Cknow she'll ^Dbe surp^Grised.

How many ^Dtimes must I cross that old ^CCaney Fork River, ^Gtraveling ^Emthrough the ^CState of Tenne^Dssee? How many ^Dtimes must I cross that old ^CCaney Fork River, ^G'til I know that ^EmI'm home ^Amfree, un^Ctil I know that ^DI am home ^Gfree?

Well I ^Gnever dreamed I'd ^Emfind her in the ^Carms of a^Amnother, ^Gshe didn't ^Emknow I was ^Ccoming home to^Dnight. Now the ^Gsheriff is ^Emsearching for the ^Cowner of a ^Amshotgun, who ^Gleft two lovers ^Emfrigid in the ^Cearly ^Dmorning ^Glight.

How many ^Dtimes must I cross that old ^CCaney Fork River, ^Gtraveling ^Emthrough the ^CState of Tenne^Dssee? How many ^Dtimes must I cross that old ^CCaney Fork River, ^G'til I know that ^EmI'm home ^Amfree, un^Ctil I know that ^DI am home ^Gfree?
