Rat Killin' Time
Davin James
Capo 2
G C D
That artesian well water sure hits the spot
G C G
When the Lousiana summer gets heavy and hot
G C D
They were down at the corn crib making corn meal and shine
G D G
But for me and McGuffe it was rat killin time
[Chorus]
C G C G
Get your axe handle and your .22 long
C G D G
Roust out that dirty rat, gonna sing him a song
[Verse 2]
G C D
Carla Jean Routon was the home coming queen
G C G
Ol' Layne McGuffee was the Captain of the team
G C D
He said Jimbo Pardue's been messin' with her mind
G D G
Let's get down to Jonesville cause it's rat killin' time
[Chorus]
C G C G
Get your axe handle and your .22 long
C G D G
Roust out that dirty rat, gonna sing him a song
[Verse 3]
G C D
We're riding around Jonesville with some 10 ounce cold beer
G C G
Any of y'all seen ol' Jimbo round here
G C D
He was up on the levee bout an hour ago
G C G
Let's shut down them lights and let's ease up here slow
[Chorus]
C G C G
Get your axe handle and your .22 long
C G D G
Roust out that dirty rat, gonna sing him a song
[Verse 4]
G C D
Then the High Sheriff come a knocking at my door
G C G
Me and McGuffee laying still on the floor
G C D
I know that y'all in there and I know what you done
G C G
Come out with your hands up and throw down that gun
[Chorus]
C G C G
He took our axe handle and our .22 long
C C G D G
They had a rat killin' and they sang us a song
