Track 4 on Doc Watson If you like my "work" don't hesitate to add favorite or to give it the STARS it deserves (with explanation?). Here is the list of all the songs I did upload for UG: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/contribution/3817887-frans.vanuytv/tabs?sort=-date&page=1&per-page=50 ATTENTION: big problem: the recordings I can find are all DETUNED, about -0.7. Not funny for my ears. Frans [Intro] (Keep always playing C, detuned, so lower, 'till the end) | C | [Verse 1] (Start On Cue)

     C
Come all you good time people

C
  while I've got money to spend

      C
for tomorrow might be Monday

        C
and I'd neither have a dollar nor a friend.

[Verse 2]

      C
Well, I've got plenty of money, good people,

       C
and my friends are all standing around,

       C
but as soon as my pocketbook is empty

      C
not a friend on this earth can be found.

[Verse 3]

          C
Well, the last time I seen my woman, good people,

          C
she had a wine glass in her hand,

        C
she was drinking down her troubles

       C
with a low-down "sorry, man".

[Verse 4]

 C
Around this old jailhouse this evening, good people,

      C
forty dollars won't pay my fine,

     C
corn whiskey has surrounded my body, poor boy,

       C
pretty woman is a-troubling my mind.

[Interlude] (Keep always playing C) | C | [Verse 5] (Start On Cue)

         C
My daddy told me a plenty, good people,

    C
and my mama she told me more,

       C
said, "Son, if you don't quit your rowdy ways

            C
you'll have trouble at your door.

[Verse 6]

       C
Well a-fine, I'd a-listen to my mama, good people,

       C
then I would not been here today,

      C
but a-drinkin' and a-shootin' and a-gamblin',

   C
at home I can not stay.

[Interlude] (Keep always playing C) | C | [Verse 7] (Start On Cue)

        C
Give me cornbread when I'm hungry, good people,

C
corn whiskey when I'm dry;

       C
pretty woman a-standing around me,

      C
sweet heaven when I die.

[Verse 8]

   C
Go dig a hole in the meadow, good people,

       C
dig it deep in that cold, cold ground,

         C
come and give 'er around all you kind friends

    C
and see this poor rounder go down.

[Interlude] (Keep always playing C) | C | [Verse 9] (Start On Cue)

    C
And when I'm dead and buried

        C
with my pale face turned to the sun

         C
will you stand around and moan, little woman,

    C                         C***
and think of the way you have done.
