Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Well, the rain was a-falling and the ground turned to mud

I was watching all the people running from the flood

So I started to prayin' though I ain't no prayin' man

for the Lord to come a helpin' knowing he'd understand.

Chorus

Deliver your children to the good good life

give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife

shine a light in the morning and a light at night

and if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right.

Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean

she spent all day with the washing machine

but when it came to lovin' she was never around

she was out getting dirty --- all over town.

Chorus

Well, I was low on money and my truck broke down

I was on my way to the lost and found

so I took it to a dealer, I said make it run

well, I ain't got no money, but I got me a gun.

I said you robbed me before so I'm robbing you back

and if it don't put you straight it'll put you on the right track

well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no saint

but I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint.

Chorus

If you want good eggs you gotta feed that hen

and if you wanna hear some more

well, I'll sing it again.
