[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I Gsaw a Berkley woman
CSittin' in her rockin' Gchair
A Gdulcimer in her lap
A D7feather in her hair
Her Gbreasts swayed freely
With the Crhythm of the rockin' Gchair
She was a-Csittin' and a-singin' and a-Gswayin'
Her D7cheeks were red I deGclare
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 2]
Twas Ghard to believe
What my Ceyes showed me Gthen
The Gcolour in her cheeks
Was D7just her natural skin
She Gwore no makeup
To Cmake her look that Gway
C She was a naturalG mama with the red cheeks
D7What more can I Gsay
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 3]
Well I Gfinally realised
There was Chunger in my Gstare
GIn my mind I was swayin'
With the D7woman in the rockin' chair
But the Glady I was livin' with
Was Cstandin' right by my Gside
She Csaw my stare and she Gsaw my hunger
And D7Lord it made her Gcry
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 4]
So with Ganger on her face
Yes and the Churt in her Geyes
She Gscratched me and she clawed me
She D7screamed and she cried
"Oh you Gdon't give me near
All the Clovin' that you Gshould
Yet you're Cready to go and Glay with her
D7You're just no damn Ggood?
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 5]
Well IG guess she's probably right
Oh I Cguess I'm probably Gwrong
I Gguess she's not too far away
She D7hasn't been gone very long
And I Gguess we could get together
And Ctry this one more Gtime
But I Cknow that wanderGlust would come again
D7She'd only wind up a-Gcryin'
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 6]
Well Gnow you've heard my story
CPlain as the light of Gday
It's Ghard to feel guilty for lovin' the ladies
D7That's all I gotta say
'Cept a wGoman is the sweetest fruit
That CGod ever put on the Gvine
I'd Cno more love just Gone kinda woman
Than D7drink only one kinda Gwine
[Interlude]

Well a Gwoman is the sweetest fruit
That CGod ever put on the Gvine
I'd Cno more love just Gone kinda woman
Than D7drink only one kinda Gwine
