Medicine Springs

Well I wandered way back in the mountains
 I was searching for fortune and fame
 I found where the water runs deep from the hills
 They call it the medicine springs
 They call it the medicine springs
 It was there that I met a fair maiden
 Yellow hair and big eyes of blue
 She told me one day she loved only me
 That she'd forever be true
 That she'd forever be true
 Well I wanted the best for my darlin'But my pockets were empty and bare
 My love was so great for that starlett of mine
 I took what another man had
 I took what another man had
 As I sit here alone in this jailhouse
 With a letter I can't hardly read
 It said my darlin' has left this ol' world
 She's a waitin' in heaven for me
 She's a waitin' in heaven for me
 Some day I'll go back to the mountains
 Where I'll spend the rest of my days
 And the water that runs frome the side of the hill
 Will water her flowery grave
 Will water her flowery grave
