The Kingston Trio - Poor Ellen Smith
[Intro]
E
[Chorus]
EPoor Ellen Smith, how was she found?
AShot through the Eheart, lyin' F#7dead on the B7ground
Her Ebody was mangled and Aall cast aEround
An 'AX' marks the Espot where poor BEllen was Efound
[Verse]
EThey picked up her body, carried it away
And Anow she's a-Esleepin' in some F#7lonesome old B7grave
EWho had the heart and Awho had the Ebrain
To F#mshoot my little AEllen on that Bcold lonesome Eplain?
[Chorus]
EPoor Ellen Smith, how was she found?
AShot through the Eheart, lyin' F#7dead on the B7ground
Her Ebody was mangled and Aall cast aEround
An 'AX' marks the Espot where poor BEllen was Efound
[Verse]
EThey picked up their rifles and hunted us down
They Afound us a-Eloafing F#7all 'round B7town
The Ejudge may convict me and Agod knows he Ecan
But F#mI know I Adied as an Binnocent Eman
[Chorus]
EPoor Ellen Smith, how was she found?
AShot through the Eheart, lyin' F#7dead on the B7ground
Her Ebody was mangled and Aall cast aEround
An 'AX' marks the Espot where poor BEllen was Efound
[Verse]
EThe warden has told me that soon I'll be free
To Ago to her Egrave near that F#7old willow B7tree
I'm Efree from the walls of that Aprison at Elast
But I'll F#mnever be Afree from my Bsins from the Epast
[Chorus]
EPoor Ellen Smith, how was she found?
AShot through the Eheart, lyin' F#7dead on the B7ground
Her Ebody was mangled and Aall cast aEround
An 'AX' marks the Espot where poor BEllen was Efound
I say, 'AX' marks the Espot where poor F#7Ellen was Efound
