[Gm] [D]
[Bb]
You know something?
Well, I feel alright.
I ain't worried about nothing.
I feel like a apple hanging on a tree.
[Am] [D]
[Bb] [B] [D]
[Dm]
[D] [G] I won't hold my 44's so long
Till they make my shoulders [D] so long.
[Dm] [D]
Well, we in [B] [G] Greenville, Mississippi now.
[C] But I was born [D] in Forest, Mississippi.
I'm 88 now.
88 [C] years old.
They say I'm the [Dm] father [N] of 26 children.
Boys and [D] girls.
[Dm] [D]
The blues give you the blues.
You want to be living across the ditch
[N] Behind a briar patch and you ain't got no shoes on.
You can't walk in on a briar's back with it.
And you take the blues then.
You can't get where you want with that.
And that gives you the blues.
[Gm] But it don't give me any blues now.
It used to give me a little touch of it
Before I learned how to play guitar.
But now, blues don't worry me [A] at all.
[D] [Gm] Yes, I'm gonna get up [Dm] in the morning.
[D] [Dm]
[D] [G] I'm gonna head highway [D] 49.
[Am] [G] [D]
[G] Oh, gonna get up in the morning.
I'm gonna head highway
[D] 49.
[Dm]
[D] [Gm] [A] Oh, turn [G] my watch.
I'm gonna sit on the [D] ground.
[Ab] [G] [D]
[A] [Dm] I [G] was in
[Gb] Traynham, Tennessee then.
Well, I [D] was in Humber.
But [G] I was a young man then.
I was [N] mean.
Yeah.
I keep a good knife in my pocket right there.
I used to get that knife fast as you could pull a gun.
That's what me and that guy had that run in on.
I beat him cutting.
I killed him.
But he didn't make [Eb] no bad man out of me.
[N] I didn't want to do nothing to him.
He stabbed me in the back and he did.
Then they gave me 10 years on the chain gang.
Woo, posh, good.
The chain gang made you good.
They gave me one whooping over there.
[A] [G]
They didn't have a whooping no more.
