           wasn't right.They got me backed up to the cotton mouth  
               C5        D5         G5 
river and I can't see late at night.

Chrous....You know there's lot's of stories told about  
        G5                       C5                D5 
 the cotton mouth river they tell them time and again  
 
about  
  G5                               B5
                        the men who tried to cross that river by moonlight and  
  C5           D5          G5  
never were heard from again.. 
 G5                            B5       C5                             
If I had all my live to live over I wouldn't have gone to
   D5             G5                              B5
           work that day.Instead of going into town and shooting  him 
             C5              D5       G5         
down for a thing I never heard him say(Chrous) 
 

G5                             B5             C5        D5
     I just made it through the cane break and I got one foot 
        G5                                        B5  
in the mud.I can hear the dogs obeying and the snakes 
                        C5             D5            
around my ankles telling me my running days are  
  G5 
done(Chrous)
