Turpentine and dandelion wine

I've turned the corner, I'm doin' fine
D A
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line
E A
Pickin' them off with this gun o' mine
D A
I got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head
E A
Growing higher and higher 'till I'm dead

Sister Sue she's short and stout
A7 D
She didn't grow up, she grew out
D A
Mama thinks she's plain, but she's just being kind
E A
Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's almost blind
D A
We don't let her out much except at night
E A
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right
A D A
O-ho, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
A E
And the young folks roll on the floor
A D A
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
A E A
Keep them hard times away from my door
A
Brother Gene, he's big and mean
A7 D
And he don't have much to say
D A
Got a little woman who he whooped each day
E A
But now she's gone away
D A
Got drunk last night, kicked mama down the stairs
E A
But I'm all right, so I don't care
A D A
O-ho, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

And the young folks roll on the floor

Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

Keep them hard times away from my door
