The c^Emovey took w^Ging S^Dhotguns a s^Ginging A p^Cointing dog d^Gown in the o^Dld logging r^Doad

D^Emanny got t^Ghree And l^Dooked back a g^Grinning I f^Cumbled ar^Gound and I t^Dried to rel^Doad

The c^Country was c^Gold With the s^Dun westward s^Ginking It's g^Cood to be b^Gack in this p^Dlace ^D

With my h^Cands ar^Gound A B^Delgian made B^Growning My m^Cind on the l^Gines of her f^Dace ^D ^D ^D

And your t^Emime spent in T^Gulsa Did n^Dot help your s^Ghooting And l^Cook at the g^Gray in your ha^Dir ^D

How g^Cood does it f^Geel? You bel^Dong in these h^Gills It's b^Cest that you l^Get it all e^Dnd ^D

If you'd have m^Carried that g^Girl You'd have m^Darried her f^Gamily Y^Cou dodged a b^Gullet my f^Driend" ^D ^D ^D
