[Verse 1]
C F Dm
I woke up on a summer's day
F C
From dozin' on a bank of clay
C E7 Am
The hot and humid fog
C G Am G Am
The splashin' of the water dog
Dm Em C
Lo come a war canoe
F C
And standing in the bow were you
[Verse 2]
C F Dm
Tell me friend if you got the time
F C
Where in this woods does grow the healin' vine
C E7 Am
And I was searchin' for my love
C G Am G Am
Who used to live in the hills above
Dm Em C
And I don't live at all
F C
No never since my last downfall
[Mouth Trumpet Solo]
[Verse 3]
C F Dm
Over yonder in the briar patch
F C
The animal lives there in a hole
C E7 Am
And ne'er in the sun will stir
C G Am G Am
But come the fall of evenin' grey
Dm Em C
Leaps and jumps away
F C
[Verse 4]
C F Dm
Standin' on the mountain side
F C
Just tryin' to get a little taste o' rain
C E7 Am
My people used to live here
C G Am G Am
And I feel the same as they do
Dm Em C
For I did dwell here too
F C
[Verse 5]
C F Dm
There she be and she see me
F C
A-driftin' in my daggone dream
C E7 Am
They throwed my windows and doors
C G Am G Am
A century of misery
Dm Em C
The Rue of Ruby whores
