E                B
I was courting a southern belle

Her Daddy was a rich 'un, too

Sports car outside her door

And she said, "Daddy's on a flight tonight

              D    A            B
Does that put any ideas in your head?" I say to her
[Chorus]

Take it all the way

I drink up the family wine

E                        B
She said, "You're such a snake in the grass, boy

But tonight you're mine"

           E       B
But wait a minute, wait a minute baby

        E                B
Are you tryin' to make a fool out of me

E                    B
She said, "I've seen men like you, before

           D    A      B
I've got a long family tree" and she said to me
