OKIE FROM MUSKOGEE   Time: 2/2   Tenor: Eb   Bass: C


INTRO:  1,  57,  1


1                   *            *       *
We don't smoke mari-juana in Mus-kogee
*                 *              57    *
We don't take our trips on L. S. D.
    *                 *                   *            *
And we don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
    *              *                1      *
But we like livin' right, and bein' free


CHORUS: 
        1              *              *        *
And I'm proud to be an Oakie from Mus-kogee    
  *                *                  57     *
A place where even squares can have a ball
*                 *                 *            *
We still wave Old Glory down at the Court House
          *                   *                 1      *
And white lightin's still the biggest thrill of all
 

We don't make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching woo
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do
 

Leather boots are still in style if a man needs footwear
And beads and roman sandals won't be seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the College Dean


ENDING: CHORUS, THEN:

57                *                 *             *
We still wave Old Glory down at the Court House
       *           *           1     *
In Mus-kogee, Okla-homa, U. S. A.
