[D] [A] I'd rather be in Richmond [D] in all the [A] hail and rain
be in Georgia [D] wearing [A] the bowling cane
drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
drunk no more, way down the old bank road
I went down to Mobile to get on a gravel train
thing they heard of me [D] I was wearing the [A] bowling cane
no more, don't get drunk no more
no more, way down the old bank road

[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ I'd rather be in Richmond [D] in all the [A] hail and rain
Than to be in Georgia [D] wearing [A] the bowling cane
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I went down to Mobile to get on a gravel train
Very next thing they heard of me [D] I was wearing the [A] bowling cane
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road _ _
_ _ Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Dodie, oh dear Dodie, what makes you treat me so?
Caused me to wear the bowling [D] cane and now [A] my ankle's sore
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Knoxville is a pretty [D] place, Memphis [A] is a beauty
If you want to see them [D] pretty gals, now hop to [A] Chattanooga
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm gonna build me a scaffold [D] on that [A] mountain high
So I can see them pretty [D] gals as they [A] go riding by
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road _
_ Alright, how does it go? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Well, my wife died a Friday night, [D] Saturday she [A] was buried
Sunday was my [D] courtin' day and Monday [A] I got married
Don't get drunk no more, don't get drunk no more
Don't get drunk no more, way down the old bank road _
_ _ _ _ Do it! _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
