Gone are the days when the ox fall down,

Gently Jack Jones won't you come to me."

Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,

The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.

And it looks like the old man's gettin' on.

In 1920 when he stepped to the bar,

In 1930 when the wall caved in,

He paid his way selling red-eyed gin.

The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
AEC#m
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down,

And it looks like the old man's gettin' on.

Tumble down shack in Big Foot county.

Snowed so hard that the roof caved in.

Delilah Jones went to meet her God,
AEBmCmC#m
And the old man never was the same again.

C#mE
Daddy made whiskey and he made it well.

I cut hick'ry just to fire the still,

Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill.
