[Eb] Grabbed his pants, [Bb] took a better stance
[Cm] Jumped [Gm] up high, [Ab]
that's when [Bb] he'd flick his [Ab] heels

[Eb] told [Gm] me other times [Cm] he worked with [Gm] minstrel shows
[Ab]
[Bb] Traveling throughout the South
[Eb] Spoke with [Gm] tears of fifteen [Cm] years
That's how his [Gm]
dog [Ab] and he, they would [Bb] travel about
[Ab]
[Gm] But his [Cm] dog up and died
[Bb] The [A] dog just got old and died
[Ab] And after twenty [Bb] years he's [Ab] three
[Bb] He
[Eb] [Gm] said I dance [Cm] now with him
[Gm] Every chance [Ab] I get to
All
[Bb] my drinks [Bb] and chips
[Eb] [Gm] Most of the time [Cm] I spend [Gm] behind his [Ab] county bars
You
[Bb] see son, I drink a [Ab] bit
Then
[Gm] [Cm] he shook his head
