Standard (EADGBE)

I was born in England, raised in France

They'd send the coathanger, wouldn't send the pants

Chorus

 Tell me how long must I wait

 Or can I get you now or must I hesitate?

I was raised in Alabama, born in Tennessee

Don't you like my peaces don't you shake-a my tree

(Chorus)

If the river was whiskey and I was a duck

I'd dive to the bottom boys I'd never come up

(Chorus)

Well looked down the road far as I can see

Got no woman boys the blues got me

(Chorus)

If the river was whiskey and the branches were wine

You could see me at the ---- any old time

(Chorus x 2)
