Tom Paxton - I followed her into the west

^CI followed her in^Fto the ^Cwest Where I had never been be^Gfore. ^CAnd never did she see me ^Fas ^CI stood there helpless ^Gby the d^Coor.

^CEach day my resolu^Ftion r^Cose, And every day an oath I s^Gwore: ^CTonight I'd stand and be a ^Fman; ^CTonight I'd knock u^Gpon her d^Coor.

^CAnd shaved and pressed and cle^Faned and dr^Cessed, I'd start upon the quest once ^Gmore. ^CBut each night ended as the r^Fest: ^CI could not knock u^Gpon her d^Coor.

^CI paced my room and c^Fursed m^Cyself; I swore that I would go no m^Gore. ^CWhen, as the sun was sinking ^Flow, ^CI heard a knocking ^Gat my d^Coor.

^CAnd standing there with f^Food for ^Cme; Standing there, my heart's d^Gelight! ^CWho said, "I thought you must be ^Fill. ^CI missed you at my d^Goor to^Cnight.

^C"Now you must rest and y^Fou must s^Cleep, Your resolution to res^Gtore. ^CAnd when these dishes you re^Fturn, ^CBe sure to knock u^Gpon my d^Coor."

^CI followed her in^Fto the ^Cwest Where I had never been be^Gfore. ^CAnd never did she see me ^Fas ^CI stood there helpless ^Gby the d^Coor.
