Hawkshaw Hawkins - Twenty miles from shore

^EOn a drillin' rig twenty ^Amile at sea The ^B7lights on land are ^Ecallin' me I'm way out here twenty ^Amiles from shore I'd give ^Esix months pay for a ^B7little ^Epirogue

Well the twenty one days don't ^Aseem so long I ^B7miss cherie, I ^Ewanna go home I'm way out here twenty ^Amiles from shore I'd give ^Esix months pay for a ^B7little ^Epirogue

I'll bet cherie's makin' ^Acrawfish pie A^B7waitin' for me with ^Etears in her eyes But here I am twenty ^Amiles from shore I'd give ^Esix months pay for a ^B7little ^Epirogue

Well the twenty one days don't ^Aseem so long I ^B7miss cherie, I ^Ewanna go home I'm way out here twenty ^Amiles from shore I'd give ^Esix months pay for a ^B7little ^Epirogue

The next boat by goin' ^Aback to land I'm gonna ^B7leave this rig minus ^Eone good hand I don't like it out here twenty ^Amiles from shore I'd give ^Esix months pay for a ^B7little ^Epirogue

Well the twenty one days don't ^Aseem so long I ^B7miss cherie, I ^Ewanna go home I'm way out here twenty ^Amiles from shore I'd give ^Esix months pay for a ^B7little ^Epirogue
