C
There's an old man who lives by the river

                             G7            C
In an old log cabin with the cracks in the wall
Makes his livin' by the catchin' of the fish
                                G7            C
If he don't catch many well he can't fix the wall

F         F
Oo-ee the whistle of the wind

                              G7       C
Nail up the boards where the wind goes in

F      C
Oo-ee can't go to sleep,

                                 G7           C
Wade across the river where the waters ain't deep
Old man prayed the big fish are bitin'
                            G7          C
The time of the year it's  late in the fall
Winter's 'commin' the winds gonna whistle
                            G7            C
Snow gonna blow through the cracks in the wall

F         C
Oo-ee the whistle of the wind

                             G7        C
Nail up the boards where the wind goes in

F      C
Oo-ee can't go to sleep,

                                G7           C
Wade across the river where the water ain't deep
The old man Courted a pretty youg maiden
                       G7     C
A maiden that he loved most of all
She ran away with a cool river gambler
                    G7       C
Cool river gambler, seven feet tall
