Standard (EADGBE)
So sweet, so fine, so gentle and mild
The soul of an angel, the eyes of a child
Well I do love that woman and she feels the same
She gave someone else her promise I gave someone else my name
Chorus
And from Eden to Canaan its many a long mile
We are only sojourners just here for a while
So sweet, so fine, her hair so black
She smiled as I passed her I stopped and I turned back
I wish Id kept moving cause who can I blame
She would never break her promise I would not take back my name
Chorus
So sweet, so fine, a tear in her eye
Ill always remember her words of goodbye
You have danced in my heart and Ill not be the same
Though Ill never have her promise and shell never have my name
