[F]
On Saturday night where I was born,
[F] I bought a guitar for Lincoln,
We started singing until the break [Bb] of [F] dawn.
About twelve o'clock, everything that's hot,
Hot stuff's for Jones.
We started clapping and he started singing,
This beat in the [Bb] country is called,
[F]
Your mama's been looking, hasn't stopped looking,
Since you [Bb] went away.
Bo-wee-bo,

You've been licking shores,
I'm sitting on this [Bb] bed of hay.
Bo-wee-bo, wee-bo,
Do-do [Cm]-do-do-do-do,
Bo-wee-bo, [F] wee-bo,
Do-do-do [Bb]-do-do-do.
