Verse 2:
Can't think, can't drink anymore whisky
I could'a drunk a river dry
Mmmmm...this old boat she's
Just sittin' in the moonlight
Catchin' the gleam in her eye

Showers of rain come pourin' down
The sky full of stars like a French lace gown
Shimmer, glimmer I think I'm gonna fall
Whoops catch me mama, that's all

Repeat chorus

Solo: F F Bb F  F F GC F

Verse 3:
Delta sun beats down like a hammer
Mmmm....it gives the low down blues
I've got a cotton gin. I'll weave and spin
And shake the dust from my shoes

I made my money, I found me a honey
To tickle me under my chin
When mornin' comes I'll ride into town
And worry 'bout the shape I'm in

Repeat chorus
