Verse 2

Can't think, can't drink anymore whisky

I could'a drunk a river dry

Mmmmm...this old boat she's

Just sittin' in the moonlight

Catchin' the gleam in her eye

Showers of rain come pourin' down

The sky full of stars like a French lace gown

Shimmer, glimmer I think I'm gonna fall

Whoops catch me mama, that's all

Repeat chorus

Solo

F F A♯ F F F GC F

Verse 3

Delta sun beats down like a hammer

Mmmm....it gives the low down blues

I've got a cotton gin. I'll weave and spin

And shake the dust from my shoes

I made my money, I found me a honey

To tickle me under my chin

When mornin' comes I'll ride into town

And worry 'bout the shape I'm in

Repeat chorus
