[Intro]
D Em G - A D D
[Verse]
D Em
Hanging on a wall just like a thousand times you been there
G A D
A picture of a field of dandelions
D
And a young stud colt a-following
Em
Some old cowboy on a broom mare
G A D
a-bound to make it home by dinner time
D
There's a thunderhead a-coming
Em
From the west and he's sure thinking
G A D
The rain would do this dusty dirt some good
D Em
But it ain't a cowboys weather so he nudges his old faithful
G A D
And turns around to call out to the stud
[Chorus]
D Em D
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder
G A D
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain
D Em D
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder
G A D
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
[Verse 2]
D
It ain't nothing much to look at
Em
Just a print I got from grandma
G A D
A real west river cowgirl in her day
D
And sometimes I need religion
Em
Since the old girl's gone before me
G A D
And that's when I can hear the cowboy say
[Chorus]
D Em D
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder
G A D
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain
D Em D
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder
G A D
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
[Verse 3]
D Em
Now the western feelin' has become another sideshow
G A D
a-selling out the bygone days gone by
D
And we never know it's raining
Em
We can't hear it for our thunder
G A D
We can't see it for our clouds up in the sky
[Chorus]
D Em D
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder
G A D
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain
D Em D
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder
G A D
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
G A D
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
