Intro: Em7b5 D#m7b5 Dm7b5 E A7 E A7 E A7 E



A     E      C#7
Well I'm goin' down to the river

F#m7 B7     E  B7
I've got a cane pole in my hand

E   C#7      F#m7         B7
I've got my redworms in a Maxwell house coffee can
     E      G#7       A          D9
I'm gonna sit under a shade tree on a riverbank where it's cool
     E         C#7        F#m7   B7   E
I'm gonna close my eyes and dream and let the cork Bob away my blues
E          C#7      A7     D9
Well I wake up every mornin' I pick peaches all day
    E              C#7
And on Saturday night we'll have a dance or two
      F#m7     B7  C7 B7
 we might wallow in the hay
    E          C#7
Now the only thing that ever whipped my pa
     A7         D9
Was this bad dude called old age
    E            C#7
And his last years were his best years
  F#m7      B7   E  C7 B7
And this is what he had to say
    A                D9
He said boy I've worked this dirt all my life
      E7         E
but things ain't been good for awhile
F#m7
Why don't you move to the city make a little money
         B7        C7       B7
you might be the first one in the family ever to die with a smile
    E        C#7
Well I took his advice things goin' well
    A          D9
But my friends are far and few
  E       C#7      F#m7       B7
But whoever said a city boy can't have them country blues

E       C#7      F#m7       B7
Whoever said a city boy can't have them country blues
E       C#7      F#m7       B7
Whoever said a city boy can't have them country blues
   C7        B7        E
Well honey they ain't talked to me and you
