Roger Mcguinn Springfield Mountain


[Am] On Springfield Mountain there did dwell
[C] Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a -
diddle - do
[Am] On Springfield Mountain there did dwell [E7] tum -
a - row
[Am] On Springfield Mountain [G]there did dwell A [F]
handsome youth I knew [E7] full well
[Am] Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - [G] lime - a -
diddle - [Am] do

One Monday morning he did go
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do
One Monday morning he did go tum - a - row
One Monday morning he did go Down in the meadow for to
mow
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do

He mowed once round that lengthy field
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do
He mowed once round that lengthy field tum - a - row
He mowed once round that lengthy field And a poison
serpent bit his heel
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do

They brought him to his Molly dear
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do
They brought him to his Molly dear tum - a - row
They brought him to his Molly dear Which made her feel
so mighty queer
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do

Oh Johnny dear why did you go?
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do
Oh Johnny dear why did you go? tum - a - row
Oh Johnny dear why did you go Down in the meadow for to
mow?
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do

Oh Molly Dear now don't you know
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do
Oh Molly Dear now don't you know tum - a - row
Oh Molly Dear now don't you know It's father's field
and must be mowed
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do

On Springfield Mountain there did dwell
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do
On Springfield Mountain there did dwell tum - a - row
On Springfield Mountain there did dwell A handsome
youth I knew him well
Right - tum - a - new - rife - a - lime - a - diddle -
do
