Carried a switchblade knife in his left hip pocket

                              A7

A7 A↓ Blues Scale And the girl I left behind VERSE: (Bass) D7 I just got to town last Friday evening
                            A7
Sure as hell didn't mean to stay 

                              E7
I was on my way back to Louisiana 

                                     A7
Had a powerful thirst and six months pay 

(+Guitar)                           D7        
I met a peroxide blonde in a bar on D-ville

                                A7
I was flying high and feeling mean 

                                   E7
Poured down a bottle and a half of red eye 

                                   A7
I dropped 35 dollars in the slot machine 

(+Piano)                             D7
And the boys in the back was dealing seven card 

                                    A7
I set down and won me a hundred and ten 

                                      E7
I was raking in chips like Grant took Richmond 

                                     A7
Till big Johnny Lee come a strolling in 

                                 D7
He ripped off the table like a 707 

                                 A7 
Pretty soon he done won all of my bread 

                                           E7
I accused him of cheating he reached for a pistol 

                                         A7
I grabbed a chair and went upside of his head 

                                      D7
Then I took off a running like a motorcycle 

                                     A7
Heard the bullets whining and sirens wail 

                                     E7
But it took half the cops in Dallas County 
A7 A↓ Blues Scale Just to put one coon ass boy in jail
