 C               E7
On the day when I was born 
 F                  Am
Daddy sat down and cried. 
 F                      C        G
I had the mark just as plain as day; 
       D7             G7
Which could not be denied. 
 C                          E7
They say that Cain caught Abel 
 F              Am
Rollin' loaded dice; 
 F                C       G
Ace of Spades behind his ear 
     F                 E7
And him not thinkin' twice. 
 
Refrain: 
 Am
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo 
 F                C         G
Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye 
 F             C        G
Half a cup of Rock and Rye. 
 F                   C        G
Farewell to you old Southern skies 
     Am        E7
I'm on my way, on my way.

If all you got to live for 
Is what you left behind, 
Get yourself a powder charge 
And seal that silver mine. 
Lost my boots in transit, babe, 
A pile of smokin' leather. 
I nailed a retread to my feet 
And prayed for better weather. 
 
Refrain 
 
They say that when your ship comes in, 
The first man takes the sails; 
The second takes the afterdeck, 
The third the planks and rails 
What's the point of callin' shots; 
This cue ain't straight in line. 
Cue ball's made of styrofoam 
And no one's got the time. 
 
Refrain 
 
  A             D          A              D
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river... 
 
...repeat as desired
