Thanks to David for the chord/word combo. The Refrain is not used in Wildwood Flower, but the other section is identical.

Branwen......Reuben James is a song written by Woody Guthrie and Woody wasn't big on tunes.....he liked to steal them and often used some on more than one song. Reuben James is based on Woody's own experience in the merchant marine during WWII.

If you were offended by some of the responses, its because Wildwood Flower is one of the best known songs in folk music and everyone assumed you knew it. Are you familiar at all with the Carter Family or Woody? There are some album clips of Maybelle Carter singing WF on an album on Amazon if you're interested.
