Doc Watson – Browns Ferry Blues (Guitar Live)

G              G7
Hard luck papa comin' down the lane

C
Mama give him back his walkin' cane

G                                   D7
Lord, Lord, I got them Brown's Ferry  blues

G                     G7
Thrown it away and he went to town

   C
To see that woman and now he's down

G                      D7            G
Lord, Lord, I got them Brown's Ferry blues

G               G7
Hard luck papa gettin' too tight

      C
If he don't quit drinkin', he'll be high as a kite

G                                    D7
Lord, Lord, I got them Brown's Ferry blues

     G                       G7
He's drinkin' that block and tackle kind

       C
He can walk a block and tackle a lion

G                      D7            G
Lord, Lord, I got them Brown's Ferry blues

G                 G7
I walked up to my girl's old man

      C
And I asked him for my true love's hand

G                                    D7
Lord, Lord, I got them Brown's Ferry blues

    G                       G7
He said, "You la-la-little galoot"

       C
And instead of her hand, I got his foot

G                      D7            G
Lord, Lord, I got them Brown's Ferry blues

G               G7
Hard luck papa standin' in the rain

        C
If the world was corn, he couldn't buy grain

G                                    D7
Lord, Lord, I got them Brown's Ferry blues

   G               G7
He runs around in secondhand clothes

        C
You can smell his feet wherever he goes

G                      D7            G
Lord, Lord, I got them Brown's Ferry blues

G           G7
Revenue man took my gin

  C
I hope they won't come back again

G                                    D7
Lord, Lord, I got them Brown's Ferry blues

G               G7
Took my sweetie with them too

C
'Cause she'd had a little drink or two

G                      D7            G
Lord, Lord, I got them Brown's Ferry blues
