Got a Letter from my Darlin' - ukulele chords

This song was originally written and performed by the Memphis Jug Band.  I stumbled upon it one day while surfing around Youtube and fell in love with this tune.  Here's me playing it complete with some kazoo solos...chords are just below the video.  Enjoy!




Note: the "C" and "Cm" minor chords on this one sound best when played barred like this - 
C = 5433, Cm = 5333

Gotta Letter From My Darlin' 
by The Memphis Jug Band

(G) Gotta letter from my (C) dar (G) lin'
(A7) Says (D) hurry (G) home
(G) Gotta letter from my (C) dar (G) lin'
(A7) How long you been (D) gone?

Well, she's (G) little and neat and (G7) she's so sweet
With (C) great big legs and (Cm) toes on her feet

(G) Gotta letter from my (C) dar (G) lin'
(A7) Says (D) hurry home

....this chord progression just repeats for the entirety of the song up until the ending....

Ending:
(Am) Says (D7) hurry (G) home
