I said [Abm] of the sheriff of [Eb] Calhoun Parish, [Eb] not to ever touch [Bbm] his daughter, [Eb] Anna Lee,
or [Gm] to look at her with lustful [Cm] eyes was certain [Ab] to get you [Bb] time in the pen or [Eb] pantry.
It [Abm] was true [Ab] she was quite voluptuous.
It was true [Bbm] she had [Eb] eyes for me.
[G] And one night at a [Cm] dance she walked up to me [Ab] and asked me [Bb] would I meet her down [Abm] by the creek.
[Eb] Lord, she said [Ebm] it [Ab] was a dangerous [Ebm] proposal.
[Eb] I thought [Bbm] about the high sheriff [Eb] kissing me.
[Gm] As I shook my head and quietly [Cm] left the party, [Ab] I heard her [Bb] laugh and say, [F] you'll be sorry.

And I came up [Ab] on my door, a [Eb] loud disturbance.
I opened it to [Bbm] the [Eb] sheriff and his deputy.
He [G] said, son, did you molest [Cm] my daughter?
I [Ab] said, sheriff, I do [Bb] not know of what [Ab] you speak.
[Eb] [Abm] [Eb]
[F] Well, he grabbed me and put me by the [Ebm] collar.
[Eb] Plunged me [Bbm] sprawling out into [Eb] the street.
There [Gm] were days in the jail [Cm] with claustrophobia and [Ab] all on account [Bb] of that ween's, [Abm] Anna Lee.
[Eb] Well, I [Ab] finally worked the bar loose from the [Eb] window and made my [Bbm] way into the woods [Eb] of Calhoun.
Late [G] that night I [Cm] came up on a cabin.
It was [Abm] the home of [Gb] Hiram [Abm] Cross, a friend of new.
His [Eb] name was Hiram.
[Ab] [Eb] If you'll [Ab] mind if I sit down at your table.
[Eb] Oh, it's been a while [Abm] since I've had [Eb] time to meet.
[G] And I'll pay your back [Abm] when I'm [Cm] able.
But [Abm] right now the [Bb] high.
