This ^Dis about Frenchy ^EDubois, Who was a ^Agrowing, lanky ^Dboy On a Christmas tree farm in ^EIllinois The hero in a ^Anovel I wrote with ^Djoy-(D-7)

The ^GStory is about his ^Dplight, Being ^Eraised by a mean Uncle and looney ^AAunt Bruno ^Dand Aunt Viney, were always ^Aright Frenchy stayed away from their ^Drant.- ^D7

He ^Gtook cover in his secret ^Dcave, Hidden ^Eby the weeds and brush on Salt ^ACreek Put ^Daway in a rock-lined ^Asafe, His journal, he wrote in, every ^Dweek

[Chorus]

So the story is ^Ewritten, It is in a ^Abox on my ^Dshelf Covered with slips of ^Erejection Waiting to be discovered, ^Avoid of ^Dmyself- ^D7

Stories ^Gabout how his kin homesteaded this ^Dplace Clearing ^Ethe timber to make crop ^Aland Now, full ^Dcircle, his dad, replaced corn with ^Atrees Frenchy was growing up, lending a ^Dhand ^D7

In ^Ga few short years, and he became of ^Dage, The ^Etree farm would be his per his dads ^Awill But until ^Dthen, Bruno and Viney wrote every ^Apage And Frenchy could only dream of this ^Dthrill.

[Chorus]

So the story is ^Ewritten, It is in a ^Abox on my ^Dshelf Covered with slips of ^Erejection Waiting to be discovered, ^Avoid of ^Dmyself.
