_ _ Now Ike is [C] a man [D] that stay mostly [Am] at home
He's got [C] three dogs [D] and a [G] bucket full [Am] of bones
He lends his [C] place out [Am] to five dollar whores
And spends [C] sunshiny days [G] on his [Am] front porch
Now he [C] reads his paper [D] and he lays [Am] on his couch
He drinks that corn [C] liquor whiskey [D] till the bottle [Am] runs out
He puts his cane to the [Em] tracks, [D] he walks [Am] into the wind
Now Ike [C] tends to stay out [D] while his women [Am] are in
_ [G] Here we are, [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ dirt [A] from the [E] river he'd [Am] say
[G] We rode [C] in, _ [G] _ _
we're [A] on the [Am] flood
_ [G] We drank whiskey _ for [Am] our liver
[G] We stay stuck here, _ _ _ _ stuck in [A] the [C] mud
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ [A] _
Now one of Ike's [C] women came knocking on [D] my door the other [A] night
She said, I stayed by [C] Ike's house, [D] do you have a [A] light?
Well I gave her some [C] matches, [G] I [D] tried to shut the doors [A] and said
No baby, I [C] need a candle so I [D] can [G] see [A] the floor as it goes
[G] A candle to _ _ [Am] light the way, _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] light the way to _ _ _ [A] something [C] good
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] [Am] Now I told her I had a candle somewhere [D] in my [Am] home
She followed me in, [D] asked me did I live [Am] alone
Yes ma'am I do, I said I live here all by myself
I pulled a [C] little red candle [D] down [Gm] off [A] of the shelf
Now I appreciate [C] that she said, [D] and snaggled [Am] to his grin
I bet you got yourself one pretty girlfriend
[C] Oh no ma'am I don't, I said [A] as I looked down at the [Am] floor
It's [C] strange how the devil keep [D] pushing more [A] and more
Now god damn she [C] says, [D] do you like women?
[Am] _ _ [C] Yes ma'am I do, I said I like [D] women
_ [Am] _ She [C] struck a pose and looked at [Dm] me sideways [Am] like
She said, well [C] do [D] you want one? _
_ Five dollar woman

[A] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ [A] Here _
_ _ [C] _ [A] _ _ [G] we are, _ _ _ _ _ [Am] dirt from the river
[D] [Am] And _ _ [C] [G] we're running, _ _ _ _ we're [Am] on the flood

watched her as [C] she walked [D] on down [Am] the street
Flower print [C] polyester dress [D] and no shoes [Am] on her feet _
[F] Ike was on [C] the railroad tracks, he's [D] looking up at [Am] the stars
And she disappears [C] in his house [D] as the dogs [A] begin to bark
