CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C F C F C
[Verse 1]
Down on the corner, the old man said
F G C F G C
Son, the old blue goose is dead
She was up on the side of the grocery store
F G C
But the old blue goose ain't there no more
[Verse 2]
F
Back in the days when the railroad ran
C
The bootleg liquor and the big-time bands
F
They would knock 'em down, turn 'em loose
C G C F G C
And they'd all go rockin' down old Blue Goose
[Verse 3]
There was jig-joint whiskey and Muscat wine
F G C F G C
Jesse on the corner rustling dimes
Ed and Oscar, the Wampus Cats
F G C
Black Ace playing for a nickel in the hat
[Instrumental]
C F G C F G C F C F C F C F C F G C F G C
[Verse 4]
Now it ain't no use you telling me
F G C F G C
This stuff ain't nothing but history
'Cause the old blue goose is on her way
F G C
She stopped right by my house today
[Verse 5]
F
Word came down from a friend of mine
C
We got the old blue goose on line
F
And the world-wide web is gonna spread the news
C G C F G C
About Jesse and Oscar and the Shreveport blues
[Verse 6]
And now that she got wings to fly
F G C F G C F G C
That old blue goose will never die
You can play it fast, you can play it loose
F G C
Or you can play a song about an old blue goose
[Outro]
