FLOWERS IN THE DELL (Fred Eaglesmith)

(Key of E, played from open C position with capo at the 4th fret)

While

travelling on a train one morning, just to take a ride,

The

car was full and I did not know who I sat down besi[-]de.

Then she

said “It’s been a long, long time.” I felt my blood run cold.

For

there, beside me, sat the girl who turned my heart to stone.

She said she was sorry for what she’d done, she’d started ife anew.
And ‘though she told me many times before, this time I believed it was true.
So I took her to the porter’s car, I got down on my knees.
And as I held her in my arms, she said that she’d marry me. (C7)

Chorus:
A

little cabin in the countryside, curtains and fancy frills.

A

little girl with dark brown eyes, and flowers in the dell,

In the

dell, and flowers in the dell.

The train pulled into the Lincoln station. I reached up to help her down,
But she ran into another man’s arms as soon as her feet touched the ground.
Then she turned and she looked and I heard her laugh, for all the world to see.
And as she turned, I reached out and grabbed her, before she could walk away.

The

whistle blew, I heard her scream, I’ll hear it ’til my dying day,

And

as she struggled, I turned and I threw her beneath the wheels of the tr[-]ain.

(Chorus)

(Instrumental verse)

The

judge he said ninety-nine years, grant him no parole.

They

put me in a cell in shackles and chains and nailed up the do[-]or.

(Chorus)
