Mandaddy

S[E]ummer is coming, catfish are jumping

T[D]he willows are we[A]eping up the river

M[E]andaddy's wagon comes rattling and dragging

H[A]is magica[B]l route

H[E]e's bringing ghost stories and bright penny whistles

W[D]hite Chinese muzzles[A] in tins of glory

L[E]ook on the horizon and see t[D]he dust [A]rolling do[E]wn the road

M[B]y name is Mandaddy and I[A] roam these[E] hills

I[B] sing and I whistle and I'[A]ll cure your[E] ills

O[A]h Mandaddy, Oh[C#m] Mandaddy's gonna cure your[F#] ills

M[B]andaddy's gonna cure your [E]ills

H[E]e walks like a farmer, talks like warm water

S[D]mells like tobac[A]co and gun powder

H[E]e's bringing red garters and bright copper kettles

a[A]nd brown lea[B]ther shoes

H[E]e says, "I remember when your folks was young'uns

L[D]aughing and running[A] in Indian summer

T[E]hey'd watch the horizon an[D]d see the[A] dust roll[E]ing down the road!"

E[E]verything changes, it's only natural

N[D]othing remains as i[A]t once started

T[E]his time next summer I may not be here, hear what I say

C[E]hildren I love you, you make life worth living

T[E]he rivers worth crossing[A] the gifts worth giving

L[E]ook on the horizon and see t[D]he dus[A]t rolling[E] down the road
