Frank Stokes - You Shall chords
Start Jamming...
[C] I'm a righteous old father, go out in heaven
The preacher owes me ten dollars, he paid me seven
A kingdom come, I will be done
If [G] I had to do to save him, Lord I wouldn't have got [F] none
I'd have found a body, but he owes me my money
[C] [F] I've heard some folks say [C] that the preacher wouldn't steal
I caught a body, left him in the wild memory field
Just a cutting and a slicing, got him trying [Fm] to find it
Eating and talking more, all the time [F] they was hungry
Save the rhymes brother, you should
Save my wife, don't rob me, you should
My miller, you should
[C] [F] [C] I finally see that preacher laying behind the law
A hand on the trigger, got his eye on the hog
The hog says, mm, the gun says, feel [F] junk on the hog
With all the grippy hat, poor chump, you should
Hat back, boy, hat's barrel, you should
Now when the good Lord sent [F] me
[Am] Now when I first moved to Memphis, [C] Tennessee
I cradled by the preacher as high as I could be
I went out on the front porch, walking about
Invite the preacher over to my house
He watched his face, he combed his hair
Next thing he wanted to do was slip in my bed
I caught him by the head, man, kicked him out the [C] door
Now my preacher at my [F] house no more, I don't like him
They'll rob you, steal your doughnuts, take your wife from you You should
Eat your chicken, spend your money You should
They'll rob you, bank the insurance You should
[C] [F]
Three more in the morning You should
These berries, let me tell you You should
Now when the good Lord sent me
[F]
