Bellamy Brothers – Catahoula (Guitar)

       D
Well I left Okeechobee I was on a quest

           G
Stopped at Weeki Wachee where the mermaids nest

  D
I seen Sopchoppy, I turned it left

      G
I hit Apalachicola, I headed west

        C
Crossed two more states in a drivin' rain

G
Finally reached Lake Pontchartrain

       D
In the bayou town I found my dream

       G
In the purtiest hound you ever seen

G                             D
Catahoula, best friend I ever had

                                                                 G
I scratch his ear and he brings my beer and comforts me when I'm sad

                                                    C
My cajun queen went to New Orleans, spent up all my moolah

       D                                                        G
Well I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called Catahoula

     D
In a plywood shack eatin' etouffee

        G
Drinkin Dixie beer passin' time away

       D
If the sun goes down on a lazy day

     G
It's time to dance while the 'cordian plays

      C
We'll hunt them 'possums by a southern moon

        G
Just to hear 'em bark makes a-my heart swoon

         D
From the Atchafalaya to the Chandeleur

    G
The zydeco rhythm and my old pal Blue

G                             D
Catahoula, best friend I ever had

                                                                 G
I scratch his ear and he brings my beer and comforts me when I'm sad

                                                    C
My cajun queen went to New Orleans, spent up all my moolah

Well I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called Catahoula

         C
Well the crawfish boil and the alligators bark

G
Oh I want a little more tobasco sauce

     D
That sawin' fiddle sure feels fine

     G
I'll sing his praises one more time

G                             D
Catahoula, best friend I ever had
