Wail and Ride - Grayson Capps NOTE 1: I could not find lyrics for this song anywhere, this is my interpretation. The name "Purslane" was derived from a character in the movie: "A Love Song for Bobbie Long", in which Grayson Capps wrote and composed the title song. His father, Ronald Everett Capps, wrote the screenplay for the movie. However, it sounds as tho the "s" in "Purslane" is silent in the recording. NOTE 2: The song was acually recorded in Dm (NOT Am, as shown), however: I believe the band used non-standard tuning (low E tuned to D?) (Intro) Am - Am - Am - Am - Am - Am - Am - Am (Verse 1) Am Willie John, Willie John, I do belive it's time E7 D Am We head out in the woods, clear cut your pine (Verse 2) Am Purslane, Purslane, (I) do believe it's true E7 D Am We ain't got no money, it's, the thing we gotta do.

E7 D Am Ain't no doctor coming, we're gonna take a little ride (Chorus) D Am D Am We're gonna ride, wail and ride. We're gonna ride, wail and ride E7 Am Come on down, ........by the riverside (Verse 5) Am Come on in, come on in, take you a swim E7 D Am You can hang up all your clothes on that black willow limb (Verse 6) Am Muddy shores, muddy sores, clingin' 'tween my toes E7 D Am Ain't no tellin' where that muddy Missippi river flows (Verse 7) Am Winter sun, winter sun, shine, keep me warm E7 D Am Got a boy child comin' early in the morn'.
