19. Okie from MuskogeeMerle Haggard

FWe don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;

CWe don't take no trips on LSDWe don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street;

FWe like livin' right, and bein' free.

We don't make a party out of lovin';C

We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,

FLike the hippies out in San Francisco do.

FI'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,

CA place where even squares can have a ballWe still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,

FAnd white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;C

Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen.Football's still the roughest thing on campus,

FAnd the kids here still respect the college dean.

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,C

A place where even squares can have a ball.We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,

FAnd white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.

C FAnd white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.

C FIn Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.

G D7 Oh, jealous me and careless you the odds were just too great.

G And I couldn't take those lonely nights, you made me sit and wait.

D7 I thought I'd seen the last of you when you walked out of sight,

G Instead I see you in my dreams at night. G C Oh, the key's in the mailbox, come on in,

D7 G I'm sitting here wishing dear, I had your love a-gain,

C I'll never even ask you where you've been.

D7 G Oh, the key's in the mailbox, come on in.

G D7 Well, I said I'd rather live alone than share your company,

G I said, "don't come around at all," if you want more than me.

D7 But sitting here alone I can't deny this flame that burns,

G I'd gladly take you back on any terms. Repeat Chorus===

FI hear the train a comin' it's rolling round the bend

F7And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

Bb FI'm stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' on

C7 FBut that train keeps a rolling, down to San Antone

FWhen I was just a baby, my mama told me son

F7Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns

Bb FBut I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die

C7 FNow when I hear that lonesome whistle I hang my head and cry

FI bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

F7They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

Bb FWell I know I had it coming I know I can't be free

C7 FBut those people keep moving And that's what tortures me

FWell if they free me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine

F7I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the lineBb FFar from Folsom prison that's where I want to stay

C7 FAnd I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
