Standard (EADGBE)
Well meet me by the river that goes nowhere,
Let me lay my sorry trip on you
Oh won't you meet me by the river little darlin'
I might just let you see my bare tattoo.
I was gonna bring you flowers but I didn't.
It's the thought that counts and I think I'm a bit too broke,
but there's some change in my ashtray,
maybe just enough to pay
for a half pint of something probably make us choke.
Chorus
Well no I'd rather not go and meet your family
They'd probably send me back where I belong,
Don't wanna hear about your mister right,
He's out of town tonight,
Baby come and spend some time with mister wrong.
I drive a one-eyed Malibu without a muffler
and a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough
and baby if you like to read, I've got some great pornography
and a ten pound flashlight floating in the trunk.
repeat chorus
And do you have a girlfriend and does she look as good as you
and would she like to meet my brother?
He'll be out of jail in a month or two.
instrumental break on verse chords
repeat first verse, chorus, end on this last line:
Yeah where I come from they call me mister wrong.
All errors, misprints and mispellings are mine and mine alone.
