[C]
No matter where we go, [A#] folks want to hear songs by [C] different Hill William artists.
And notice [F#] I said Hill William because Hill Billy is a mountain goat.
[F] [G] [C]
Now we, [F#] I don't try to imitate these people, I just simply want to answer some requests for different songs by different artists.
And we'll, I hope that you find one of your favorite artists among them somewhere.
We'll start with this fellow here.
[G] [B] [C] [G]
[C] [G] [C] I'm walking the floor over [F] you.
[G] I can't sleep a wink, [C] that is true.
[G] [C] I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks [F] right in two.
[G] Walking the floor [C] over you.
I'm in front of home.

This [D#] is one of my favorite singers, I guess.
[C] [B]
[C] [Cm] I've [C#] changed the words to this song just a little [C] bit, so I hope you will not mind, you folks who are fans of this fellow.
[Cm] There stands [C] my wife [F] with a long [C] butcher knife.
[F]
She's after [C] my life.
[G] Brother, I'm on my [C] way.
[Fm] [C]
[A]
Now two of my favorite artists, as a matter of fact, one of these, I [E] had the privilege of doing his summer replacement [A] on the Ozark Jubilee last year, last summer for him.
One of my good buddies, we play golf once in a while together.
Neither [Bm] one of us can play golf, but we have [G#m] an awful [A] lot of fun trying.
Leo Jackson, I'm sure you've heard lots of folks do this before and none of them had the advantage of Leo Jackson's talents to help, you know.
So hope you remember these folks.
[Cm] [A]
[E] [A]
One by one, [D] you broke each vow [A] you made.
It was you who lied, it was [E] me who paid.
[A]
As sure as [D] there's a heaven beyond [A] the sun.
You'll pay for your [E] lies one [A] by one.
That's pretty good, eh?
[D]
[A] That takes talent out of you.
[G] Now here's another fellow, let's see.
How does he [N] play his guitar?
I've never figured it out yet.
Just like you did.
Like this?
Yeah, like this.
[A#] [A] [G]
[A#] [G]
Play it, Luther.
You ask me if [C] I'll forget my [G] baby, you know I will [D] someday.
[G] I don't like it, but [D] I guess things happen [G] that way.
Man, Luther.
[Em] [C] [G] [D] [Am]
[G] [F#m] [G]
Ah, boy.
[A]
Skunk in a rat hole, tight fit.
[N]
[F#m] There's a guy who, his real name is Ferlin Husky and he has a sidekick that made a record that I always liked and went,
Guyana, [N] Guyana, let me in, it's cold out here.
I [A]
guess
[N] of all the singers in the country, though, [A] this is my favorite here.
You'll notice I've changed some of the words in this [E] one too.
[A] So you'll have to be real quiet [D] now to understand [A] the words.
I think you'll appreciate them because they're real pretty.
I'd be [E] happy dear, if you'd throw [A] it in gear.
Go get me [E] some beer.
I've been dry [A] all day.
Some old [D] home brew.
A bucket [A] or two.
I'd always [E] love you.
I want to be with [N] you all [A]
night.
