Carl Smith - Hey Joe (1968). chords
Start Jamming...
It's a pleasure to be on the National Life and Accident Insurance Company's program,
especially with a young gentleman that came from the same section of the country that I did.
And we're both real proud of Maynardville, Tennessee.
And I want you to give a nice, good welcome to Carl Smith.
Carl, come in here.
Nice to be with you on the program.
Thank you.
It's an honor.
Who's the guitar man with you?
The guitar man?
Yes.
You mean the one that's coming in to sit down now? Yes.
[G] I better not call him what I did on rehearsal.
[A] Do that same thing.
Same thing?
Yes, sir.
He's got another name.
He's known as Cousin Jody for the time.
[Bm] But he's got him some new teeth.
I ain't gonna say the rest of it.
He's been with me since [E] 1951, and his [G] name is Johnny Cyber.
[N] Johnny Cyber.
I'd like to teach him about one more rule.
[Am] How's that?
Well, [Bm] he does a real fine job, and so does Cousin Jody.
I notice his biscuit board is not as flat as Cousin Jody's.
No, [Ab] he borrowed that one and [A] shot Jackson.
Good enough for me.
It's the [D] same price.
That's fine.
What are you gonna sing, Carl?
Hey, [B] Joe
Good one, boy.
[A] Now where'd you find that pretty girl
[D] Who heard you eat that jolly dolly
Hiding in that dish that was [A]
mine
Hey, Joe
She got skin as creamy dreamy
Eyes that look so lovey-dovey
And lips red as cherry [D] berry wine
Now come [G] on, Joe
Let's make a deal
Let me dance with her to see if she is real
She's a honey, she's a sugar pie
I'm warning you, I'm gonna try to [A] steal
That from you
[D] Hey, Joe
We'll be friends until the [G] end
But this looks like end, my [A] friend
I gotta have that dolly [D] for my home
[D]
Hey, Joe
Now come on, let's be buddy-duddy
Show me you're my pousy-wousy
And introduce that pretty little chick to [A] me
Hey, Joe
Quit that waiting, hesitate
And let me at her, what's the matter
You're as slow as any joke
And big as any joke
Now [G] come on, Joe
Let's make a deal
Let me dance with her to see if she is real
She's a honey, she's a sugar pie
I'm warning you, I'm gonna try [A] to steal
That from you
[D]
Hey, Joe
We'll be friends until the end
[G] But this looks like end, my friend
[A] I gotta have that dolly for [D] my home
[N]
