Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

and my friends looked like crowd

The Am swimmin hole was C full of rum

I F tried to find out C why

all I Dm learned my friend

is you've got to G swim be F fore you C fly.

Chorus

I've got F two C girls

one's in Am heaven, one's C below

one I love with Dm all my heart

and one I do not know.

Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horse

Passed by not long ago

They asked me where the action was

I said I did not know

And as they disappeared into the brush

I heard the driver say

He's a little slow between the ears

He's always been that way

Chorus

Jolly Jane just lays around and listens with her mouth.

She's had about a dozen husbands,

but the last one just pulled out.

Now who's gonna bring her dinner

through the weary years ahead?

All she'll get from me is sympathy,

got no time to see she's fed.

Chorus

Cold down on the bayou,

they say it's in your mind.

But the moccasins are treadin' ice

and leavin' strange designs

Cajuns say the last time

this happened they werent' here

Aw, beaumont's full of penguins

and I'm a playin' it by ear.

chorus 2x and out.
