Yesterday I went wandering so I could ease my head
     C#                                      B              F#
So I laid right down and I closed my eyes on top of a river bed
  C#                                      B              F#
I laid right down and I closed my eyes on top of a river bed

I walked to the river falls and they took me right in
          C#                                 B             F#
Well they fed me fish and whiskey and then I went to sleep again
          C#                                 B             F#
Well they fed me fish and whiskey and then I went to sleep again

I guess there I saw Samantha, she was standing on the rise
             C#                                 B              F#
And I said, "Lord if I am dreaming please don't let me open my eyes"
             C#                                 B              F#
And I said, "Lord if I am dreaming please don't let me open my eyes"

         F#                                   B
Well the rain let up and the sun came out and Samantha took my hand
    C#                                  B                  F#
She led me down to the water's edge and then we dove right in
    C#                                  B                  F#
She led me down to the water's edge and then we dove right in

         F#                              B     
I said, "Oh sweet Samantha you know that I could fall for you
      C#                                B                  F#
But I know that you would leave me here before the morning dew
      C#                                B                  F#
But I know that you would leave me here before the morning dew"

She said, "Yes it's true I have to go, but I hope you won't forget
    C#                                       B               F#
The time you closed your eyes and laid right down on a river bed
    C#                                       B               F#
The time you closed your eyes and laid right down on a river bed"
