[Verse 1]
G
Come up on the mountain and I’ll tells ya what I see
I see all them revenuers and they’re comin after me
C7
Ooh I was a mighty good man, mighty good man
‘Til I met up with Rosa Lee
G
She said I’ll give you all my lovin’ if you bring it on home to me
D7 C#7
I was a pretty simple man, without a penny to my name
C7 G
Somehow this hickman holler boy s’gotta learn to make some change
[Verse 2]
G
I didn’t come about it honest, god knows I never tried
But it sure as hell beats breaking bones and you can bank it on the shine
C7
Well now come on boys, I got what you want, in the backseat of my car
G
I call it John the baptist, cus its the gospel in a jar
D7 C#7
Priced a little high, but take a whiff and you will see
C7 G
Smokey and the bandit aint got shit on me, no
[Verse 3]
G
I did my very best, I gave my baby all my dough
Well she took it all and ran off with a boy from down the road
C7
Well he’s a pretty nice guy, known ‘im all my life
Never thought that he would be
G
That smoothtalking bastard, to take my babe away from me
D7 C#7
It’ll take a while but pretty soon he will see
C7 G
Moneyhungry women are so hard to please
[Outro]
N.C.
Come up on the mountain and I’ll tells ya what I see
