[B] See that water mirror, [E]
but I'm sure [B] to fish, By radio it's that water [F#] that's good for mine.
[B] But the white folks, them two [E]-legs, Well, they make a good lot [B] of fish,
I, they wouldn't leave [F#] it hanging on [B] that vine.
[E] How to have bones and fleas, [B] and chicken and goose,
Rabbit eats so very, [F#] very fine,
[B] But gimme, oh [E] gimme, oh [B] how I wish you would,
That water mirror, [F#] I'm hanging on [B] that vine.

[B] Talk about you, Apple, [C#m] and your peachy [B] dad, your parents,
Them undergrowing [F#] on the tree.
[B] But bless your heart for honey, [C#m] you and the [B] gals for me,
I, they wouldn't leave [F#] it hanging [B] on that vine.
[E] How to have bones and [B] fleas, and chicken and goose,
Rabbit eats so very, very [F#] fine,

[B] I went to get that mirror, [E] but I'm much [B] done behind,
Now I say, hey, just to [F#] give you a sign,
[B] But when I left that old man's [E] field, I left dying, [F#] I cried,
But [B] I never left that mill alone, that vine.
[E] How to have bones and fleas, [B] and chicken and goose,
Rabbit eats so [F#] very, very fine,
But [B] gimme, oh [E] gimme, oh how [B] I wish you would,
That water mirror, I'm hanging on that vine.
