E5 Summer is coming, catfish are jumping D5 A5 The willows are weeping up the river E5 Mandaddy's wagon comes rattling and dragging A5 B5 His magical route E5 He's bringing ghost stories and bright penny whistles D5 A5 White Chinese muzzles in tins of glory E5 D5 A5 E5 Look on the horizon and see the dust rolling down the road Chorus: B5 A5 E5 My name is Mandaddy and I roam these hills B5 A5 E5 I sing and I whistle and I'll cure your ills A5 C#5 F#5 Oh Mandaddy, Oh Mandaddy's gonna cure your ills B5 E5 Mandaddy's gonna cure your ills E5 He walks like a farmer, talks like warm water D5 A5 Smells like tobacco and gun powder E5 He's bringing red garters and bright copper kettles A5 B5 and brown leather shoes E5 He says, "I remember when your folks was young'uns D5 A5 Laughing and running in Indian summer E5 D5 A5 E5 They'd watch the horizon and see the dust rolling down the road!" Chorus E5 Everything changes, it's only natural D5 A5 Nothing remains as it once started E5 This time next summer I may not be here, hear what I say E5 Children I love you, you make life worth living E5 A5 The rivers worth crossing the gifts worth giving E5 D5 A5 E5 Look on the horizon and see the dust rolling down the road Chorus transcribed by Erik Karlsson
