MY PRETTY QUADROON
THE BROWNS

INTRO:
My heart's like the strings on my banjo
All broke for My Pretty Quadroon.

I'll never forget when I met
Sweet Cora, My Pretty Quadroon
I see her dear eyes smiling yet
As we vowed to be true 'neath the moon
Her form was exceedingly fair
And her cheeks like the Wild Rose in June
And the ringlets of dark curly hair
Were the curls of My Pretty Quadroon.

CHORUS
Oh! my pretty quadroon
My flower that faded too soon
My heart's like the strings on my banjo
All broke for My Pretty Wuadroon.

Farewell to Kentuckys' green hills
Farewell to Kentuckys' green shade
Farewell to the green clover fields
Where Cora and I often strayed
My sorrow will soon be forgot
And my heart will find rest in the tomb
But my spirit will fly to the spot
And watch o'er My Pretty Quadroon.

CHORUS

TAG:
My heart's like the strings on my banjo
All broke for My Pretty Quadroon.
