As recorded by Old Crow Medicine Show (From the 2023 Album JUBILEE) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
D
Well we don't fight bulls and we don't race horses

D
And we don't give a damn what the fed enforces

        A
But the good Lord taught us wrong from right

A
And it ain't no sin one little old cockfight

G
Pull up the truck to the pen in the yard

                     D
Big left turn on the boulevard

          G
Round the bend the barn backdoor

                                D
Two chalk lines on the old dirt floor

A
Grab old Red and spur him tight

A
Bill 'em up boys let the bidding fly

A
It's beak to beak and it's eye to eye

D N.C.                                    D
We found love at the Belle Meade cockfight
[Verse 2]
D
I thought my heart knew everything

D
'Til I saw you across that fighting ring

    A
One look from you is all I need

A
Now we're one cockfighting family

D        G
Cut that comb and dub them wattles

                               D
Shine that gaff all inch and a quarter

            G
Meet in the middle of the pit if you dare

                             D
Watch them spurs and hackles flare

A
Kiss my bird and let her fly

A
Swing your cocks on up to the sky

A
Handlers watch don't let 'em die

D N.C.
We found love at the Belle Meade cockfight
[Fiddle Solo] Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm A D N.C. D N.C. D N.C. D [Verse 3]
D
Well I love my bird like I love my wife

D
It's in our blood this way of life

        A
And the only fun our youngins need

A
Is Saturday night in the old Belle Meade

   D                        G
So take your corner chicken man

                            D    G
And may the bravest chicken win

D              G
It's blood and beer on Saturday night

                                  D
Come Sundays morning it's chicken pie

   A
So grab old Red and spur 'em tight

A
Bill 'em up boys let the bidding fly

A
It's beak to beak and it's eye to eye

D N.C.                                D
We found love at the Belle Meade cockfight
[Outro] D
