[Intro]
C F C G C
[Verse 1]
C
I was drivin' a rig outta Texas
Am
All loaded and bound for Cheyenne
C F
Takin' my pleasures so freely
C G C
Just a good lovin' ramblin' man
C
I had quite a way with the ladies
Am
"Sweet Daddy" was my middle name
C F
Till I got to a place they called Denver
C G C
And I ain't never been quite the same
[Chorus]
C F
I've been to Saint Louis and Abilene
C Am
I've rambled through many a town
C F
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
C G C
That's where I'm settlin' down
[Verse 2]
C
Well, I kissed her and swore that I loved her
Am
I told her some day she'd be mine
C F
And then I laughed all the way back to Texas--Ha-ha!
C G C
To think she'd believe that old line
C
Well, I got to pinin' for Denver
Am
It's funny how things come to be
C F
As I slipped the ring on her finger, well
C G C
I knew that the laugh was on me
[Chorus]
C F
I've been to Saint Louis and Abilene
C Am
I've rambled through many a town
C F
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
C G C
That's where I'm settlin' down
[Verse 3]
C
Now all you young fellas take warnin'
Am
You single men, run for your life
C F
Be careful and stay out of Denver
C G C
Or else you'll wind up with a wife
C
You'll walk down the street unsuspectin'
Am
And you won't believe what you see
C F
'Cause the prettiest gals live in Denver, Lord
C G C
You'll end up happy, like me
[Chorus]
C F
I've been to Saint Louis and Abilene
C Am
I've rambled through many a town
C F
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
C G C
That's where I'm settlin' down
[Outro]
C F C G C
C F
Got me a woman in Denver, Lord
C G C
That's where I'm settlin' down
