I was down by old [Dm] Joe's bar room in _ a
corner [A] across from the square.

[A] All of the time folk [Dm] had gathered _ _ and
the usual [A] Saturday night crowd [Dm] was
that _ way _ [A] back in the corner stood
[Dm] old Joe McKinney, _ _ his eyes [A] bloodshot red.
Joe put [Dm] a wine man.
Joe leaned over to Mike, who was the bartender,
[Gm] _ and these [A] were the words [D] he said.
What [A] did he say?
[Dm] I went down to [A] St.
James [Dm] and Farnborough, _ _
saw my baby [A] lying there.
[D] _ She was stretched out on a long [Dm] white table,
[Eb] so [Bb] cold, so [A] sweet, so fair.
_ _ [Dm] Let her go, let her go, God bless her.
_ Wherever she _ may be, [Dm] she can look this wide world over,
but she'll never [A] find a 77-year [Dm]-old like me.

_ _ _ [Bb] 17 guards sang [A] a mournful song.
_ _ [D] _ 17 guards went to the [D] cemetery, _ [Bb] but only [Am] 16 of those guards
came back home.
[Dm] _ _ _ [Am] Now, when I die, I want to be buried in [Dm] my straight-laced
shoes, _ with a box-back coat [A] and a Scotsman hat,
_ _ [E] and I want a [A] $20 gold piece on [Dm] my watch chain
to let all the boys know that I died [D] standing pat.
_ [A] _ [A] I want 16 crapshooters for my [F]
pallbearers
_ [Dm] and a 50-Chevrolet in [A] my hearse, _ _ and I want a Preservation Hall
band [Dm] to play Who Da Thought It, because these will be [E] my last
days here on this earth.
