 RY COODER - Old Kentucky Home Lyrics

[Randy Newman]
[D] - [G] - [A] - [E7] - [A7] - [Bm]

[D] Turpentine and dandelion wine
I've turned the corner and I'm [G] doing fine
Shooting at the birds on the [D] telephone line
[A] Picking 'em off with this [D] gun of mine
I got a [G] fire in my belly and a [D] fire in my head
Going [A] higher and higher till I'm dead

Sister Sue, short and stout
She didn't grow up - she grew out
Papa says she's plain but she's just being kind
Mama says she's pretty but she's almost blind
Don't let her out much 'cept at night
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right

Oh, the [D] sun shines bright on my [G] old Kentucky [D] home
And the young folks roll on the [E7] floor [A7]
Oh, the [D] sun shines bright on my [G] old Kentucky [D] home
Keep them hard times [G] a [Bm]way [A7] from my [D] door

Brother Gene, he's big and mean
And he didn't have much to say
He had a little woman that he whupped each day
But now she's gone away
He got drunk last night
Kicked mama down the stairs
But I'm all right so I don't care
