A little country hDmome, a little country home
Made her blood run coEldEsus4 E Esus4 E
Now her moDmther pines her heart away
Looking for her chFild in the bGig black sDmmoke

Frailest, purest girl the world has seen
According to her ma, according to her pa
And everybody said
That she knew no sin and did no wrong
Till she walked the streets of the big black smoke
Of the big black smoke
BRIDGE:
Well she slEept in cafes and coffee bars and bowling alleys
And every penny she hDmad F G
Was spFent on purple hearts and cigarEettes
Ah, she took all her pretty coloured clothes
Ran away from home, the boy next door
For a boy named Joe
And he took the money for the rent
Tried to drag her down in the big black smoke
In the big black smoke
