G
Sittin in the bayou country just me and my fishin line.
                                                               C
Raised a lot of hell and I hollered sippin on that Georgia moonshine.
                                     G
Well, I know how to have a damn good time.
      D                                  
And I take my shots straight out of a jug
      C                                          G            
And I like to get pure drunk in that Mississippi mud.

G
Well, lets throw us a little party, Baby.

I-ll call a few friends of mine.

We-ll dance all night till the sun comes up
                                  C
And a-drink our selves completely blind
                            G
Then we-ll rock on down the line.
      D
And I take my shots straight out of a jug
      C                                             G
And I like to do a little dance in that Mississippi mud.

G
Well, I was raised by an awful alligator.

He taught me how to walk the line.

He used to deal cards from the bottom of the deck,
                               C
But a Tennessee woman took his life.
                                     G
But he sure gave me some real good advice.
      D
And I take my shots straight out of a jug
      C                                          G
And I like to get pure drunk in that Mississippi mud.


       D
Hey, I take my shots straight out of a jug
      C                                             G
And I like to do a little dance in that Mississippi mud.
