[E]
Old Cattahoola Brown lived back in the swamp with his [A] dogs and a bunch of sons.
[D] One teenage daughter named Sally Sue, she [E] was as pretty as a newborn fawn.
And he didn't like sinners and he didn't like [A] saints and he didn't like anything.
[D] But as much as he disliked everybody else, [E] he just hated old Silas Gray.
[A#m] [B] Sally Sue come in [E] on a Saturday [A] evening as the sun was going down.
[C#] [D] She said, Papa, if it's alright [D#] with you, [E] well, I think I'm gonna go to town.
He said, daughter, you get on back in the house, cause you ain't going no place
[C#] [D] until you get them ribbons out of your hair and [E] wash the makeup off of your face.
She said, Papa, don't you be so hard on me, cause I [Em] just got a date
with [D] this boy I met in Sunday school and [E] we ain't gonna be out late.
And then she walked on up to the rural route and she [A] caught herself a ride.
[D] But you won't know, boy, from Sunday school, [E] there was a-sittin' on the other side.
It was Silas Gray's youngest son, Bobby Joe, sittin' under that stairs.
Alligator, alligator, swimmin' in the spring.
Alligator, alligator, what makes you so mean?
Alligator, alligator, I wonder where you've been.
He just swallowed [D] old Ketahoula Brown, and he never seen him [A] again.
[E]
[Em] [E] Ketahoula got up on Sunday morning, made [Am] some coffee and had him a cup.
[D] Then he walked on out to the back of the [E] house to get his pretty daughter up.
He went a-runnin' in the room where the boys all slept, [A] hollin', get up, somethin' ain't right.
[D] And I'm worried to death cause your daughter, little sister, [E] didn't even come home last night.
Johnny said, Papa, don't be mad at me, [A] I sure hate to tell you this.
[D] But I seen her in town with Bobby Joe [E] Green and I even seen her givin' him a kiss.
And I tried to get her to come on [A] back, but she told me to leave her alone.
[D] She said they was gettin' mad before the sun come [E] up and she wasn't never comin' home.
Ketahoula grabbed the boy by the nap of the [A] neck and he slapped him upside the head.
[D] He said, before I see her married to that [E] trash, I'd rather see the little girl dead.
And then he whistled at the dog and he grabbed his [A] gun, he was full of evil and might.
[D] He went a-runnin' across the woods, hollin' side of the [E] screen, his bunch was gonna die tonight.
Then a day went by and he didn't come [A] back and then another went by and then a week.
[D] And when the boys went lookin', all they found was his [E] shotgun layin' on the bottom of the creek.
And then they found his boots and they found his [A] cap, but they couldn't find anything else.
[D] Except a big fat alligator sittin' on [E] a log lookin' mighty proud of his self.
It don't pay to hate somebody so bad you go stompin' around in gear country.
Alligator, alligator, swimmin' in the creek.
Alligator, alligator, what makes you so mean?
Alligator, alligator, wonder where you been.
They beat your squatter, [D] who cared the hula brown?
I ain't never seen him again.
