Sweet Guinevere
(Gordon Lightfoot)
Waltz
DGDA
Sweet Guinevere you're off to the coal town tonight
GDA
And your young brother Ernie's up in Pittsburgh PA
DGDA
You know mother loves you, and dad's in the mine
GAD
So don't go to the coal town, Guinevere, if you're kind
DGDA
She loves a young man and he lives in the town
GDGA
And he leaves the house early for he works underground
DGDA
He makes a good wage for a coal miners son
GAD
And shes a bit pretty, just turned twenty-one
DGDA
Sweet Guinevere you're off to the coal town tonight
GDA
And your young brother Ernie's up in Pittsburgh PA
DGDA
You know mother loves you, and dad's in the mine
GAD
So don't go to the coal town, Guinevere, shut the blind
DGDA
She knows her good mother's not feelin no pain
GDA
She remembers an explosion and the black falling rain
DGDA
She paints her thin lips in her dewy-eyed way
GAD
Then she says to the daughter, dear daughter I pray
DGDA
Sweet Guinevere you're off to the coal town tonight
GDA
And your young brother Ernie's up in Pittsburgh PA
DGDA
You know mother loves you, and dad's in the mine
GAD
So don't go to the coal town, Guinevere, if you're kind
