Gene Parsons  Take A City Bride  written by Gib Guilbeau

E        B            E
Whoa yay guy, chertay bebe
                  B
Told mama et told papa
                        E
Di joh dit zhay dit par bon
E                          B7
I got a house on stilts, a five dollar bill
                          E
A settin' on the banks of muddy muddy bayou
                    B7
Lot better than the streets of crowded cars
                                  E
Pawn shops, friendly neighborhood bars
E
Ah but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
     B7                                        E
They says I can't make a good livin' for their child
E
Ah but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
      B7                                     E
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride
E                             B7
I got a paint can't run, your pappy's got a big dog
                          E
Snappin' at my heels, get away you mangy hound
E                              B7
Light's still burning, and the ladder by the window
                                 E
Take a chance gonna make another round
E
Ah but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
     B7                                        E
They says I can't make a good livin' for their child
E
Ah but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
      B7                                     E
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride
E
Yea but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
     B7                                        E
They says I can't make a good livin' for their child
E
Ah but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
      B7                                     E
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride
