I'm [E] going down [C#] to the river I [F#m] got a cane [B] pole in [E] my hand
[C#m] Got my [C#]
red worm [A] in a Maxwell house [B] coffee can
[E] I'm gonna sit [G#] under a shade tree [A] on a river bank
[F#] Where it's blue [E] I'm gonna close my eyes and [F#] dream
And let the [B] cold bob away [E] my blues
Well I'd wear [G#]
[A] my pink peaches [D] all day
And [E] on Saturday night [C#] we'll have a dance [F#] or two
We [C#m] might wallow in [B] the hay
[C] [B]
Well [E] the only thing that [G#] ever whipped my [A] tooth
Was a man called Joe Wade
[G#] But [E] his last year [C#] wasn't his best year
[F#] And this is what he [E] had to say
[C#] He said, [A] boy, I've worked this dirt
[C#m] But things [A] ain't been good for a [C#m] while
Why [F#] don't you move to the city
Make a little money
You [B] might be the first one in the family
To ever die with a smile
[E] I took his advice
[G#] Things going well [A] is a fine [D] thing for you
[E] Whoever [C#] said a city boy can have him [B] country blue
