[D] [A] I'd rather be in Richmond [D] in all the [A] hail and rain
Than to be in Georgia [D] wearing [A] the bowling cane
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road
I went down to Mobile to get on a gravel train
Very next thing they heard of me [D] I was wearing the [A] bowling cane
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road
Well, Dodie, oh dear Dodie, what makes you treat me so?
Caused me to wear the bowling [D] cane and now [A] my ankle's sore
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road
Knoxville is a pretty [D] place, Memphis [A] is a beauty
If you want to see them [D] pretty gals, now hop to [A] Chattanooga
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road
I'm gonna build me a scaffold [D] on that [A] mountain high
So I can see them pretty [D] gals as they [A] go riding by
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road
Alright, how does it go?
Well, my wife died a Friday night, [D] Saturday she [A] was buried
Sunday was my [D] courtin' day and Monday [A] I got married
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road
Do it!
