Old Man Duff
Written and recorded by Tex Morton
[Verse]
C G7 C
Old man Duff was doggone tough why they called him dynamite
D7 G7
On the mattress filled with broken glass he rested well each night
F C G7
He combed his hair with a garden rake and ate his vitals raw
C
He picked his teeth with a horse shoe nail
G7 C
And shaved his beard with a saw
[Chorus]
F C G7
Old man Duff was very rough and tough as a man could be
F C G7 C
He ate wire nails and the bones of whales and drank gasoline for tea
[Verse]
G7 C
Old man Duff had thirteen sons but he beat them all to death
D7 G7
He choked all the cops so dog-gone they died from the lack breath
F C G7
The sheriff went up to arrest old Duff but he made a big mistake
C
Old Duff picked him up by the seat of the pants
G7 C
And threw him out in the lake
[Chorus]
F C G7
Old man Duff was very rough and tough as a man could be
F C
Had big floppy ears as long as a steers
G7 C
And his hair hung down to his knees
[Bridge]

I-lee-ol-lee-tee loo-e-do o-lee-loo lee-do-lee-do lee-do lee-do

Lee-do lee-do o-lee-ol-lee-tee O-lee-ol-lee-tee
[Verse]
G7 C
Old man Duff had a daughter fair but she died a poor old maid
D7 G7
Many a man would've courted her but they were all afraid
F C G7
Old Duff once found a fella with her why they heard him rave and shout
C G7 C
He shoved his fist down the poor man's throat and turned him inside out
[Verse]
G7 C
Old man Duff lived a thousand years then he died and went below
D7 G7
When old satan looked at him he smiled and said hello
F C G7
Now that fire was mighty hot when the put old Duff in there
C G7 C
But he laid right down and he went to sleep and never singed a hair
[Chorus]
F C G7
Old man Duff was very rough and tough as a man could be
F C
Had hair on his chest and he wore no vest
G7 C
And he looked like a chimpanzee
