[Hook]
F Eb F
Yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee, yodel-la
F Eb F
Yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee-hee-hee
[Verse 1]
F
Here I am riding along in this ambulance
Bb
To the city jail
Bb
Going to jail accused of being a peeping tom
F
Dammit man, I'm saying
F
Any man would try to find out if his girl
F
Was doing, doing him wrong
Bb
That's all I was doing there outside her home
[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
Bb Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
Bb F
And she did this to me
F
Mama said son you're going to fall
Eb
For that common cajun queen
F
She's going to take you for your all
Bb F
And that's what she done done to me
[Hook]
F Eb F
Yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee, yodel-la
Eb F
Yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee-hee-hee
[Verse 2]
F
Cracked ribs, black eyes and a bloody nose
Bb
I've been victimized
Bb
I'm the victim of a one-sided circumstance
F
No one's heard my side
F
And when you hear my side, you'll see the rotten trick
F
She pulled on me
Bb
How could she, that I loved, do this to me?
[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
Bb Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
Bb
And she did this to me
F
Mama said son you're going to fall
Bb E
For that common cajun queen
F
She's going to take you for your all
Bb F
And that's what she done done to me
[Instrumental]
F Bb F Bb
Eee-ha!
F Bb Eb F
[Verse 3]
F
Lately, she's been acting fishy all the time
Bb
Just like tonight
Bb
When we kissed goodnight she pulled away from me
F
So I hid from sight
F
Out of sight by her door, I heard her give her love
F
To another guy
Bb
I guess the guy must have heard me cry
Bb
He rushed to the door
F
That's when I screamed, "Oh lord!"
[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
Bb F
And she did this to me
F
Mama said son you're going to fall
Bb Eb
For that common cajun queen
F
She's going to take you for your all
Bb F
And that's what she done done to me
[Verse 4]
F
Talk about surprised at her, when she screamed to him
Bb
It's a peeping tom--then he beat me up
Bb
I took the beating but I felt more hurt when she called the cops
F
Spitting on twelve months!
Bb
Twelve months of loving that girl ain't my idea of a peeping tom
Bb
So officer, please let me go, 'cause I've done no wrong
[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
Bb Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
Bb F
And she did this to me
F
Mama said son you're going to fall
Bb Eb
For that common cajun queen
F
She's going to take you for your all
Bb F
And that's what she done done to me
[Chorus-8va]
