Verse 1

C E7 On the day when I was born F Am Daddy sat down and cried. F C G I had the mark just as plain as day D7 G7 Which could not be denied. C E7 They say that Cain caught Abel F Am Rollin' loaded dice, F C G Ace of Spades behind his ear F E7 And him not thinkin' twice.

Chorus

Am Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo F C G Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye F C G Half a cup of Rock and Rye. F C G Farewell to you old Southern skies Am E7 I'm on my way, on my way.

Verse 2

C E7 If all you got to live for F Am Is what you left behind, F C G Get yourself a powder charge D7 G7 And seal that silver mine. C E7 Lost my boots in transit, babe, F Am A pile of smokin' leather. F C G I nailed a retread to my feet D7 E7 And prayed for better weather.

Verse 3

C E7 They say that when your ship comes in, F Am The first man takes the sails; F C G The second takes the afterdeck, D7 G7 The third the planks and rails C E7 What's the point of callin' shots; F Am This cue ain't straight in line. F C G Cue ball's made of styrofoam D7 E7 And no one's got the time. A D A D Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river.
