The Kingston Trio – Goober Peas (Guitar)

                        C             F
Sittin' by the roadside on a summer's day

                                C
Chattin' with my mess mates and passing time away

F                     Bb
Sittin' in the shadow underneath the trees

F                       C             F
Goodness how delicious, eating goober peas

                        C             F
Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas

                        C             F
Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas

                          C               F
When a farmer passes, the soldiers have a rule

                              C
To cry out at their loudest, "Mister, here's your mule"

F                          Bb
But there is a pleasure, enchantinger than these

     F                          C             F
It's wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas

                        C             F
Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas

                        C             F
Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas

                            C               F
Just before the battle, the General hears a row

                                  C
He said, "The Yanks are coming, I hear their rifles now"

   F                           Bb
He turned around in wonder and what do you think he sees?

    F                C             F
The Georgia militia, eating goober peas!

                        C             F
Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas

                        C             F
Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas

                              C            F
We think this song has lasted almost long enough

                                     C
The subject is most interesting, but rhymes are mighty rough

F                            Bb
When this war was over, when free from rags and fleas

      F                                             C             F
We'll kiss our wives and sweethearts and then we'll gobble goober peas
