Start Jamming...
I'm calling out a Jackson tonight.
I ain't gonna let him sing yet.
No, he can sing.
Are you ready?
Push one?
[B] Did you hear [C] him there?
What did he sing there?
[Dm]
[B] Was he singing those old drinking [N] songs?
[D] [Gb] Well, [E] I had a request [C] down here in the front for this kind of a love [Ab] song that I've been [C] singing every now and then.
[Am] You'll hear the story as it goes along, [G] but it's called What a Waste of Good Corn Liquor.
[Eb] [C]
[G] [C] [F]
[C] [Em]
[C] I have lost my blue-eyed darling, now [F] I sit with a broken heart.
By my cabin in the Carolina [G] hills.
Oh, [C] I love the shiner's daughter, love [F] her true with all [C] my heart.
Till she fell into her pappy's liquor still.
Oh, what a waste of good corn liquor.
From the steel that [Em] pulled apart.
[G] Now the revenue sticker [F] crawled, she melted in the liquor.
And they had a [G] very poor lily [C] by the hill.
[G]
[F] [C]
[Gm] [C]
Cousin Caleb on the juice harp played a mighty mournful tune.
Kid folks about their heads and gathered [G] round.
Then [C] I heard the parson [F] sing, drink me [C] only with thine eyes.
As we watched him pour poor lily in her drink.
Oh, what a waste of good corn liquor.
From the steel that [G] pulled apart.
[C] Now the revenue sticker [F] crawled, she melted in the [C] liquor.
And they had a [G] very poor lily [C] by the hill.
[G] [C]
[F] [C]
Oh, what a waste of good corn liquor.
From the steel that pulled apart.
Now the revenue sticker crawled, [F] she melted in the liquor.
And they had [G] a very poor [C] lily by the hill.
