Ballad Of Jed Clampett  Roy Clark









 GD
  Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed
 G
Poor mountaineer, barely kept his family  fed
 C
Then one day he was shootin' at some  food
 D
And up through the ground  came a bubbling crude
(Oil, that is, Texas tea, black gold)
 GD
  First thing you know, old Jed's a  millionaire
 G
Friends said, Jed,  move away from here
 C
Said that California was the place he ought to  be
 DG
  So he loaded up the truck and they moved to  Beverly
(Hills, that is, swimming pools and movie stars)
 GD
   Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his  kin
 G
They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping  in
 C
You're all invited back again to this  locality
 DG
To have a  heaping helping of their  hospitality
 G
  (Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now
Nice folks, Y'all come back now, hear?)

Battle Of New Orleans  Johnny Horton











 DG
  In 1814 we  took a little trip
 A7D
A- long with Col. Jackson down the  mighty mississip'
 G
We took a little bacon and we  took a little beans
 A7D
And we  Caught the bloody British in a  town in New Orleans.

CHORUS

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
 A7D
There wasn't as many as there  was a while a- go
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
 A7D
On down the Mississippi to the  Gulf of Mexi- co.

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come
And there musta been a hund'erd of 'em beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

CHORUS

Old Hick'ry said we could take 'em by su'prise
If we didn't fire our musket till we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we see'd their faces well
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... Well -

REPEAT 1ST CHORUS

2ND CHORUS
Yeah! they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
 A7D
And they ran through the bushes where a  rabbit couldn't  go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
 A7D
On down the Mississippi to the  Gulf of Mexi- co.

We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind.

REPEAT 1ST CHORUS

REPEAT 2ND CHORUSA

Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour  Lonnie Donegan




 GDG
 Oh-me, oh-my, oh-you
 GDG
 Whatever shall I do
 CGDG
 Hallelujah, the question is peculiar
 GDG
 I'd give a lot of dough
 GDG
 If only I could know
 E7
 The answer to my question
 D
Is it yes or is it no   


 G
 Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
 D
 On the bedpost overnight

If your mother says don't chew it
 G
 Do you swallow it in spite
 CD
 Can you catch it on your tonsils
 GC
 Can you heave it left and right
 G
 Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
 DG
 On the bedpost overnight

Here comes a blushing bride
The groom is by her side
Up to the altar
Just as steady as Gibraltar
Why, the groom has got the ring
And it's such a pretty thing
But as he slips it on her finger
The choir begins to sing

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
If your mother says don't chew it
Do you swallow it in spite
Can you catch it on your tonsils
Can you heave it left and right
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight

Now the nation rise is one
To send their only son
Up to the White House
Yes, the nation's only White House
To voice their discontent
Unto the Pres-I-dent
They pawn the burning question
What has swept this continent

(Lonnie speaks)
If tin whistles are made of tin
What do they make fog horns out of
Boom, boom

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
If your mother says don't chew it
Do you swallow it in spite
Can you catch it on your tonsils
Can you heave it left and right
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
 E7DG
 On the bedpost overnight 

 Man
 Hello there, I love you and the one who holds you tight

(Lonnie)
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night

 E7DG
 On the bedpost overnight 

 Man
 A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime

(Lonnie)
He's singin' out the chorus
But he hasn't got the time

 E7DG
 On the bedpost overnight, yeah

NOTES:
-i wouldn't put too much effort into getting it to sound exactly like leadbelly for a
reasons: he's playing a 12 string and so has the octave-high drones on every string, he
likely playing a guitar tuned at least a full step down or possessive of poor quality
heads that slipped constantly with the travel he did, and the original recording was
on wax cylinder so the fidelity is considerably less than perfect which gives it that
rough acoustic blues edge but makes it a pain to mimic. plus blues tradition was more
on individual artists giving their own touches to a lot of communal traditional songs,
fool around with it and make a version you can really call your own.

-the first instance of the IV chord (here an A) in the verses is always a 7th, but the
instance is not. the recording was too old and grainy for me to be 100% certain of this,
the second instance is only held for a split second anyway so i doubt anyone will
if you like to play it faster you can probably get away with the old blues trick of
the A chord instead of actually playing it by just hitting (x022xx), (x02xxx) or any
simple voicing of A.

-for a nice, subtle variation you can substitute Gsus (320033) for the G wherever you
didn't experiment with how this sounds in other keys with other suspended chords because
supposed to be writing an essay for literature class and i'm really just tabbing this to
:-P

 GDE7A7
And the moment I laid eyes on it. It became my hearts delight


Chorus:
 DA7DG
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped and whir when it stood still
 GDA7D
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will


The first time that I picked it up I got a big surprise
For right on the bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green
eyes.
I first pushed one, then the other, then I twisted its lid
And when I put it down again, here is what it did.

Chorus

It first marched left, then marched right, then marched under a chair.
And when I looked where it had gone, it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed for he knew that I would find
When I looked around, my marvellous toy, just a'chugging from behind.

Chorus

Well, the years have gone by too swiftly it seems, I now have my own
little boy
And yesterday, I gave to him my marvelous little toy.
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head, he gave a squeal of glee
Neither one of us knows just what it is, but he loves it just like me

Chorus


I've been doing this song for MANY years and (if I remember correctly
without my guitar in hand) generally play it in C but the chord progression
is simple enough to allow it to be played in whatever key fits your vocal
range.

Regards,

Midnight special  Leadbelly












 DG
 Yonder comes Miss Rosie,
 D
How in the world do you know
 A7
I can tell her by her apron
 D
& the dress that she wore
 G
Umbrella on her shoulder
 D
A piece of paper in her hand
 A7
I heard her tell the captain
 D
Turn loose my man

Chorus:

 G
Let the minight special
 D
Shine it's light me
 A7
Oh let the midnight special
 D
Shine it's everlasting light on me

When you get up in the morning
When that big bell rings
You go marching to the table
You see the same old thing
Knife & fork are on the table
Ain't nothin in my pan
& you say a word about it


If you ever go to Houston
Boy you'd better walk right
And you better not gamble
And you better not fight
Cuz Benson Crocker will arrest you
& Jimmy Boone will take you down
& you bet your bottom dollar


Well, jumpin little Judy
She was a mighty fine gal
She brought jumpin
To the whole round world
Well, she brought it in the morning
Just awhile before day
Well, she brought me the news
That my wife was dead

That started me to grieven
Whoppin, hollerin & cryin
That started me to thinkin

Miss Otis Regrets Just One Of Those Things  Pogues









 CFGCG
 Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.  
 F
 Madam,
 CG
 Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
 C
She is sorry to be delayed,
 FC
but last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed,
 F
 Madam,
 CFGCG
 Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.  

When she woke up and found
That her dream of love was gone,
Madam,
She ran to the man
Who had led her so far astray,
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down,
Madam,
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.

When the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail,
Madam,
They strung her upon
The old willow across the way,
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her head and cried,
Madam,
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
 CFG
 Miss otis regrets she's unable to lunch
 Am
 today

 AmE
 It was just one of those things,
 CD
 Just one of those crazy flings,
 CD
 One of those bells that now and then rings,
 G
Just one of those things.
 AmE
 It was just one of those nights,
 CD
 Just one of those fabulous flights,
 CD
 A trip to the moon on gossamer wings,
 GC
 Just one of those things

 G
 If we'd thought a bit
 D
 Of the end of it,
 GD
When we started painting the town,
 E
 We'd have been aware
 Am
 That our love affair
 G
Was too hot not to cool down.

So goodbye, Dear, and Amen.
Here's hoping we meet now and then,
It was great fun,
But it was just one of those things

It was just one of those nights,
Just one of those fabulous flights,
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings,
Just one of those things

So goodbye, Dear, and Amen.
Here's hoping we meet now and then,
It was great fun,
But it was just one of those things

This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings its arms
This old house is gettin' feeble

But I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
4. This ole house dog lies a-sleepin'
He don't know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace
And he'd sit there and howl and grieve
But my huntin' days are over
Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more
Gabriel done brought in my chariot
When the wind blew down the door
