David Allan Coe - The punkin center barn dance

^FHe came from Kentucky ^BbLeast ways that's what I've been told ^CMe and fate had left that state Before his corpse got ^Fcold He'd been killed for gold When Calif^Bbornia could be sold To any ^Cfool who had been told About the Punkin Center ^FBarn Dance.

^FMama had the fever And my ^BbDaddy sold his soul To ^Csomeone called the devil That he'd met along life's ^Froad Dad would stop to drink a toast And ^BbMom was looking like a ghost Was ^Cgonna beat us to the coast And the Punkin Center ^FBarn Dance.

At the ^BbPunkin Center Barn Dance That's where everyone would ^Fbe ^BbDancing to Virginia's Reel And the ^GWaltz of Tenne^Cssee When the ^Froll is called up yonder You can ^Bbhear the angels ^Fsing At the Punkin Center Barn Dance God is ^Cgold, the grass is ^Fgreen.

^FYeah, I left California Just be^Bbfore the Grateful Dead ^CTold the truth about the gold I'd searched for in my ^Fhead Like my Dad I'd roamed the land And ^BbMom could never understand How ^CLucifer could bring a man To the Punkin Center ^FBarn Dance.

^FWell, times are changin', poets say ^BbSince Mom and Dad both passed away ^C But some things in this life Will never ^Fchange The poets write of things to come The ^BbEarth will melt into the Sun ^CAnd you and I will be the ones At the Punkin Center ^FBarn Dance.

At the ^BbPunkin Center Barn Dance That's where everyone would ^Fbe ^BbDancing to Virginia's Reel And the ^GWaltz of Tenne^Cssee When the ^Froll is called up yonder You can ^Bbhear the angels ^Fsing At the Punkin Center Barn Dance God is ^Cgold, the grass is ^Fgreen.
