Verse #1
DMy daddy played poker in the woods they say, bFack in his younger days
GProhibition was the talk but the rich folks walked to the Dwoods where my daddy stayed
JDugs and jars from shiners, these old Fboys here they aint biners
GCame from the 29er's, it didn't take a hDole in the ground to put the bottum in their face
Instrumental: D F G D (2x)
Verse #2
Back in the 30's when the dust bowl dried and the woods of Alabama didn't see no light
My daddy played poker by a hardwood fire, squeezing all his luck from a hot copper wire
Scrap like a wildcat, fights till the end. Trap a wildcat and take its skin
Deal from the bottom, put the ace in the hole
One hand on the jug, but you never do know
Chorus Intro: C G Bb F
Chorus #1
CSon come running
GBetter come quick
BbThis rotgut moonshine is Fmaking me sick
CYour momma called the law and they're gonnaG take me away
BbDown so far even the dFevil wont stay
DWhere I called to the Lord with all my soul
I could hFear him rattling the chain on the door
He Gcouldn't get in, I could see he tried
Through the shDadows of the cage around the 40 watt light
Instrumetal
Chorus #2
CDaddy tell me another story
GTell me about the low's and the high's
BbTell me how to tell the difference between what they tFell me is the truth or a lie
CTell me why the ones who have so much make the oFnes who don't go mad
with the sBbame skin stretched over their white bones and the sFame jug in their hand
Verse #3
My daddy played poker on a stump in the woods back when the world was gray
Before black and white went and chose up sides and gave a little bit of both their way
The only blood that's any cleaner is the blood that's blue or greener
Without either you just get meaner and the blood you gave gives you away
Chorus Intro
Chorus
Then it's just D F G A till the end.
