Verse 2:
Can't think can't drink anymore whisky
I could'a drunk a river dry
Mmmmm this old boat she's
Just sittin' in the moonlight
Catchin' the gleam in her eye
Showers of rain come pourin' down
The sky full of stars like a French lace gown
Shimmer glimmer I think I'm gonna fall
Whoops catch me mama that's all
Repeat chorus
Solo: F F Bb F F F GC F
Verse 3:
Delta sun beats down like a hammer
Mmmm it gives the low down blues
I've got a cotton gin I'll weave and spin
And shake the dust from my shoes
I made my money I found me a honey
To tickle me under my chin
When mornin' comes I'll ride into town
And worry 'bout the shape I'm in
