Intro C C7 C (x4)

C                      G             C
Well, they raised that horse to be a jumper 
       F                           C
He was owned by a mid-west bible thumper 
    F                        Am
His preacher was a Louisiana drummer 
         G                         C
Took all winter to get through the summer 

C             G                  C    
The fieldhand hit the switch and stumbled 
     F                            C
Outside the big engine roared and rumbled 
    F                        Am
The stolen horse spooked and tumbled 
             G                          C
She didn't speak for a week, Just kinda mumbled

He was caught up in a lie he half believed
          F                         C
Found her hiding high in the family tree
           F                           Am
Washed his hands and put her cross his knee
         G                              C
She said daddy "you been a mother to me"
