(Bb9)Arm in arm, o ver (Fm7)mead ow and farm,

(Fm7)walk in’ my ba by back (Eb)home.

(Eb)We go ’long har mo (Ebmaj7)niz in’ a song,

(Ebmaj7)or I’m re cit ing a (F9)poem.

(Bb9)Owls go by, and they (Fm7)give me the eye,

(Fm7)walk in’ my ba by back (Eb)home.

We (Gm)stop for a while, she (C7)gives me a smile and (Eb)snug gles her head to my (D7sus)chest.

We (Gm)start in to pet, and (C7)that’s when I get

her tal cum all (Bb9)o ver my vest.

(Eb)Af ter I kind a (Ebmaj7)straight en my tie,

(Ebmaj7)she has to bor row my (F9)comb.

(Bb9)One kiss, then I con (Fm7)tin ue a gain,

(Fm7)walk in’ my ba by back (Eb)home.

(Fm7)walk in’ my ba by back (Eb)home.
