^COn the day when ^E7I was born ^FDaddy sat down and ^Amcried. ^FI had the mark just as ^Cplain as ^Gday; Which ^D7could not be de^G7nied. ^CThey say that Cain caught A^E7bel ^FRollin' loaded ^Amdice; ^FAce of Spades beh^Cind his ^Gear And ^Fhim not thinkin' t^E7wice.

[Chorus]

^AmHalfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo ^FHello, baby, I'm ^Cgone, good^Gbye ^FHalf a cup of ^CRock and ^GRye. ^FFarewell to you old ^CSouthern ^Gskies I'm ^Amon my way,^E7 on my way.

^CIf all you got t^E7o live for ^FIs what you left be^Amhind, ^FGet yourself a p^Cowder cha^Grge And se^D7al that silver ^G7mine. ^CLost my boots in t^E7ransit, babe, ^FA pile of smokin' l^Ameather. ^FI nailed a retread t^Co my feet^G And ^Fprayed for better ^E7weather.

[Chorus]

^AmHalfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo ^FHello, baby, I'm ^Cgone, good^Gbye ^FHalf a cup of ^CRock and ^GRye. ^FFarewell to you old ^CSouthern ^Gskies I'm ^Amon my way,^E7 on my way.

^CThey say that when your sh^E7ip comes in, ^FThe first man takes the s^Amails; ^FThe second takes the af^Cterdeck, ^G The th^D7ird the planks and r^G7ails ^CWhat's the point of c^E7allin' shots; ^FThis cue ain't straight in l^Amine. ^FCue ball's made of st^Cyrofo^Gam And ^Fno one's got the t^E7ime.

[Chorus]

^AmHalfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo ^FHello, baby, I'm ^Cgone, good^Gbye ^FHalf a cup of ^CRock and ^GRye. ^FFarewell to you old ^CSouthern ^Gskies I'm ^Amon my way,^E7 on my way, on my way!!
