[Bb] [F]
[C] [F] [Bb] [Am]
[F] Well the cows went dry and the hens don't lay There's no place [C] I can borrow
[F] Give [Bb] the landlord all the [C] news And the rent comes [F] due tomorrow
Lots of money in the bank They say that's [C] where to keep it
[F] Not only would [Bb] they loan me [C] some They wouldn't let [F] me see it
So pave the way on the old range Oh keep that [C] guitar strummin'
[F] Put [Bb] more water in the [F] soup That's better time to come
[Bb] [F] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
[F] Well Mary Lou could pull a plow If only I [C] would let her
[F] Twice as [Bb] strong as any [C] ox She don't smell [F] much better
Lid and kiss that Mary Lou But once then I [C] had to leave her
[F] Makes my [Bb] collar get too tight [C] I start to burn [F] with fear
So pave the way on the old range Oh keep that [C] guitar strummin'
[F] Put more [Bb] water in the [C] soup That's better [F] time to come
[C] [F] [Bb]
[C] [F] My rooster used to chase the hens He just kept [C] getting thinner
[F] Till he run [Bb] himself to death [Am] So I brought him in [F] for dinner
Cotton crops were mighty poor And weeds were [C] rarely growing
[F] Need a [Bb] woman pretty [C] bad To help me with [F] the hoe
So pave the way on the old range Oh keep that [C] guitar strummin'
[F] Put more [Bb] water in the [C] soup That's better [F] time to come
[Bb] [Am] [F]
A man came by the other day Huntin' man to [C] labor
[F] I told him I [Bb] hadn't seen the guy [C] Why don't he ask [F] my neighbor
So come on boys and get your gal And keep your heels [C] up higher
[F] Don't let no [Bb] one steal your gal [C] Just hold her a [F] little tight
So pave the way on the old range Oh keep that [C] guitar strummin'
[F] Put [Bb] more water in the soup [C] That's better [F] time to come
[Bb] That's [C] better [F] time to come
