We're gonna put the cousins together, the boys from Faraday, Louisiana who grew up together picking and singing together and
[F#] I believe these are low tunes that you just used to sing when you'd get together
We used to do these songs every now and then.
What as teenagers?
Teeny boppers.
Years ago back when we went to school in Faraday, Louisiana, Ralph
Shiny and old shiny.
It's kind of hard to believe that there's only six months difference in our age in it.
Yes it is
[G]
Where is Faraday, Louisiana?
About nine miles from Natchez, Mississippi.
Natchez, Mississippi is about two miles from Vidalia, Louisiana
Okay, five miles south of Clayton, but you're really a big help
Forty miles from Peck.
The reason why they called it Peck, it wasn't enough there to make a bushel
[C] Let's relive the old days in Faraday, Louisiana
[A]
What goes by cheek to [D] cheek?
Has [G] anybody seen [C] my gal?
Could she, could she, [A] could she, could she, could she, could she, [D] would anybody [G] see [C] my gal?
Well now [E] if you run into a five foot two

Touches the ground Yeah.

Go down the shaft, [C] by that old, old [A] railroad track.
[D] It's like a million-ass mansion.
[G] They keep a-callin' me [A] back.
[C] I'd give up [E] my palace, [A] son, if I were a king.
Really?
[D] It's more than a palace, it's Jury River's lane.
[F] Got a queen [F#] waiting there, [C] for the silver [A] rebound.
[D] In my shanty [G]-town, that old [C] shanty-town.
