[Verse 1]
E
There's an old man and he lives by the river

                         B7            E
In an old log cabin with cracks in the wall
Makes his livin' by the catchin' of the fish
                                B7            E
If he don't catch many well he can't fix the wall
[Chorus]
A  E      B7             E
Oo-ee the whistle of the wind

A                            E
Nail up the boards where the wind blows in

A  E   B7      E
Oo-ee can't go to sleep,

                                 B7           E
Wade across the river where the water ain't deep
[Verse 2]
E
Old man prayed the big fish are bitin'

                            B7          E
The time of the year it's  late in the fall
Winter's commin' the winds gonna whistle
                            B7            E
Snow gonna blow through the cracks in the wall
[Chorus]
A  E      B7             E
Oo-ee the whistle of the wind

A                            E
Nail up the boards where the wind blows in

A  E   B7      E
Oo-ee can't go to sleep,

                                 B7           E
Wade across the river where the water ain't deep
[Verse 3]
E
When the old man was young 'bout twenty

                                       B7            E
well he courted with the woman that he loved most of all
She ran away with a cool river gambler
                    B7       E
Eool river gambler, seven feet tall
[Chorus]
A  E      B7             E

Wade across the river where the water ain't deep

Oo-ee the whistle of the wind

A                            E
Nail up the boards where the wind blows in

A  E   B7      E
Oo-ee can't go to sleep,

                                 B7           E
Wade across the river where the water ain't deep
