E D A E Got a little house in the South French Quarter E D A E Got a job at the base loadin them steamboats E D A E I give the seven days pay next day im broke A D E A When she ain't a sleepin' all day she's a primpin'. Gb Every evenin' when the sun goes down E D A E She starts a swarmin' on N'orlean town E D A E Walkin' into work this mornin' at daybreak E D A E I caught her with the tall mark dandy from the canebreak. A she walked right by me D E A And she looked right through me. Gb I made up my mind what I'm a gonna do E D A E Eased in the pawnshop and bought a 22. E D A E I watched as the roomclerk gave them a room key E D A E A standin' right outside I could read Room 23. A D E A Tonight I'll put her on a train for Georgia Gb Gonna be a lotta kin folks squallin' and a grieving E D A E 'Cause that Cedartown gal ain't breathin...
