_ Hardly ever saw granddaddy down here, _ _ _ only come to town about twice a year. _ _
_ Five hundred pounds of yeast, that's a cop of a line. _
_ _ Everybody knew that it made one shine.
_ _ [G] Now the river knew a man, only granddaddy bad.
[D] Headed up a holler, never a thing he had.
[G] For my time, life been told.
[D] Never come back, cop of head rule. _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [D] Now daddy ran a whiskey and a big black Dodge.
All _ that knocks, never made some of us.
_ _ Shot a can of cherry paint on the side.
_ _ Shot a coat of primer, [G] then looked [D] inside.

_ _ Manner up a holler down cop of head rule. _
_ _ [G] Now the DA's got a chopper in the [D] air.
Wake up screaming, lock him back, cool his hair.
[G] I learned a thing or two from Charlie, don't you [D] know.
