High Sheriff Of Calhoun Parrish Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

(Intro: D, Am, D)

DIt was said of the sheriff of Calhoun Parrish

Not to ever touch his Amdaughter Anna LDee,

For to lF♯mook at her with lustful eyes was cBmertain

To gGet you time in the penAitentiarDy.

DIt was true, she was quite voluptuous

It was true, sAmhe had eyes for Dme;

Then one F♯mnight at a dance she walked up Bmto me

And Gasked me would i mAeet her down by the Dcreek

As i listened to her dangerous proposal

I thought about the high sheriff catching me

As i shook my head and quietly left the party,

I heard her laugh and say "you'll be sorry"

Then came upon my door a loud disturbance,

I opened it to the sheriff and his deputy.

He said, "son, did you molest my daughter?"

I said, "sheriff, i do not know of what you speak."

Then he grabbed me roughly by the collar

And flung me sprawling out into the street;

There were days in the jail with claustrophobia

And all on account of that wench Anna Lee

Well i finally worked a bar loose from the window

And i made my way into the woods of calhoun,

Late that night i came upon the cabin;

It was the home of Harham Cross, a friend i knew.

Would you mind if i sat down at your table

'cause it's been a while since i've had time to eat

And i'll pay y'all back when i'm able,

But right now the high sheriff is after me.
