G C
All of my life I've been so happy
D G D
while I have had you by my side.
G G7 C Am7
Now you say you're gonna leave me
D G
for to become someone else's bride.
D G
Oh, the river of love it has gone muddy
A7 D
and the flowers , they are dying on the shore.
C G
And the blue skies have all turned to darkness
D G
and the nightingale will sing no more.
G G7 C
What can I do to hide my sorrow,
D G D
what can I do to ease the pain?
G G7 C Am7
How can I keep these tears from fallin'
D G
oh, darlin', won't you come back home again?
D G
Oh, the river of love it has gone muddy
A7 D
and the flowers , they are dying on the shore.
C G
And the blue skies have all turned to darkness
D G
and the nightingale will sing no more.
G C Am
Tomorrow I will take you to the station
D G D
I will see that you're safely on that train.
G G7 C Am7
When the Two Nineteen has parted
D7 G
I'll never ever see your smile again.
D G
Oh, the river of love it has gone muddy

and the nightingale will sing no more.
