F             Eb            F
Yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee, yodel-la
F             Eb            F
Yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee-hee-hee

[Verse 1]
F
Here I am riding along in this ambulance
            Bb
To the city jail
Bb
Going to jail accused of being a peeping tom
       F
Dammit man, I'm saying
F
Any man would try to find out if his girl
F
Was doing, doing him wrong
Bb
That's all I was doing there outside her home

[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
       Bb             Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
    Bb              F
And she did this to me
F
Mama said son you're going to fall
         Eb
For that common cajun queen
               F
She's going to take you for your all
           Bb                    F
And that's what she done done to me

[Hook]
F             Eb            F
Yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee, yodel-la
Eb                          F
Yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee, yodel-la-hee-hee-hee

[Verse 2]
F
Cracked ribs, black eyes and a bloody nose
          Bb
I've been victimized
Bb
I'm the victim of a one-sided circumstance
                  F
No one's heard my side
F
And when you hear my side, you'll see the rotten trick
F
She pulled on me
Bb
How could she, that I loved, do this to me?

[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
       Bb             Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
    Bb
And she did this to me
F
Mama said son you're going to fall
         Bb           E
For that common cajun queen
               F
She's going to take you for your all
           Bb                    F
And that's what she done done to me

[Instrumental]
F   Bb F Bb
Eee-ha!
F Bb Eb F

[Verse 3]
F
Lately, she's been acting fishy all the time
          Bb
Just like tonight
Bb
When we kissed goodnight she pulled away from me
F
So I hid from sight
F
Out of sight by her door, I heard her give her love
F
To another guy
Bb
I guess the guy must have heard me cry
Bb
He rushed to the door
                         F
That's when I screamed, "Oh lord!"

[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
       Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
        F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
    Bb              F
And she did this to me
F
Mama said son you're going to fall
         Bb           Eb
For that common cajun queen
               F
She's going to take you for your all
           Bb                    F
And that's what she done done to me

[Verse 4]
F
Talk about surprised at her, when she screamed to him
                         Bb
E|t's| a peeping tom--then he beat me up
Bb
I took the beating but I felt more hurt when she called the cops
F
Spitting on twelve months!
                                                     Bb
Twelve months of loving that girl ain't my idea of a peeping tom
Bb
So officer, please let me go, 'cause I've done no wrong

[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
       Bb             Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
        F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
    Bb              F
And she did this to me
F
Mama said son you're going to fall
         Bb           Eb
For that common cajun queen
               F
She's going to take you for your all
           Bb                    F
And that's what she done done to me

[Chorus-8va]
Gb
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
       B              E
Just a young'un in my teens
Gb
I don't gamble, drink or swear
B                          Gb
And what they done done to me.

[Verse 5]
Gb
Let this country boy go, officer
        E
Please, now that's all I ask
Gb                                       B
Take this stick out my back and let me go
Gb
I don't need her no more
                   B
Oh lord, have mercy

[Outro]
Gb
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
       B              E
Just a young'un in my teens
Gb
I don't gamble, drink or swear
B                   Gb
And she did this to me
