I'm [E] going down [C#] to the river.
I [A] got a cane [B] pole [C#m] in my hand.
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 riverbank [F#] where it's cool.
[E] I'm gonna close [C#] my eyes and [Gm] dream and let the [B] cold bob away [E] my blues.
Well, I wake up [G#] every morning, [A] I pick peaches [D] all day.
And [E] on Saturday [C#] night we'll have a dance [F#] or two.
We [C#m] might wallow in [B] the hay.
[C] [B]
Well, [C#m] the only thing that [G#] ever whipped my [A] mind was the cold cold away.
[G#] But [E] his last year [C#] was his best year [A] and this is what he [E] had to say.
[C#] He said, [F#m] boy, I've worked this dirt [A]
all my life, [C#m] but things [A] ain't been good for [C#m] a while.
Why [F#] don't you move to the city, make a little money.
You [B] might be the first one [C] in the family to ever [Bm] die with a smile.
[E] I took his advice.
[G#] Think of him with [A] friends out by [D] the field.
[E] Whoever [C#] said a city [F#] boy can have him [B] country blues.
[C#m] Whoever said a city [A] boy can have him [B] country blues.
[E] Whoever said [C#] a city boy [C#] can have him country [B] blues.
Well, [C] honey, they [B] talk to [E] me [G] and you.
