[Intro] DAD GD AD AD
DAD I was talking to a swaggy yesterday GD His beard was long his hair was silver grey AD His dress was out of style but he wore a friendly smile E7AD And here is what the old man had to say
DAD “You may think me most unusual my boy GD When I tell you straight that I am stony broke AD I tramp from year to year and I’ll drink all kinds of beer AD But I like to have good 'baccy when I smoke"
DAD Now I’ll show you this here old terbacco tin GD The paint is gone the sides are dinted in AD But it’s opened many a bottle in its wild and chequered life AD And to me it has always been a friend
[Yodel] DAD GD AD AD
DAD I one time had a wife and everything AD But a stranger came and soon we were apart AD So I left my friends and home and I hit the road to roam AD But nicotine has mended my old heart
DAD I’ve got no use for money in my life GD You strive and struggle till it gets you down AD I tramp until I lag and then I’ll drop my swag AD And I’ll sit and smoke and watch the world go 'round
DAD When finally I reach the golden gates GD They say St Peter he’s a decent bloke AD If I’m taken with the blessed this will be my last request AD I must have good terbaccy when I smoke
DAD Yes I was talking to that swaggy yesterday GD And what he told me I’ll remember clear AD Trampin’ out there with the breeze happy as the birds and bees AD And I reckon that he has the right idea.
