Text File

Sung by Jimmy Carl Black:
C
My name is Burtram
          F
I am a redneck
          C
All my friends,
               F
They call me 'Burt'
(Hi, Burt!)
C
All my family,
               F
From down in Texas
             C
Make their livin'
   G
Diggin' dirt

THEN ITS THE THE SAME WITH THE OTHER VERSES


Come out here to Californy,
Just to find me
Some pretty girls
Ones I seen
Gets me so horny;
Ruby lips,
'N teeth like pearls!

Wanna love 'em all!
Wanna love 'em dearly!
Wanna pretty girl-
I'll even pay!
I'll buy 'em furs!
I'll buy 'em jewelry!
I know they like me;
Here's what I say:

UNTIL:
A                     E
I'm lonesome Cowboy Burt!
(Speakin' atcha!)
A                        E
Come smell my fringe-y shirt!
(Reekin' atcha!)
A             E
My cowboy pants,
A            E
My cowboy dance,
A            E
My bold advance,
D                 G
On this here waitress . . .
Yodel-oh-oo-pee-hey
Yodel-oh-oo-pee!
E                       A
(He's lonesome Cowboy Burt
E                           A
Don'tcha get his feelings hurt)
D              
Come out in this place,
         A
'N I'll buy you a taste,
         E  
You can sit on my face-
Where's my waitress?

Key change:
C
Burtram, Burtram redneck
C
Burtram, Burtram redneck
C
I'm an awful nice guy!
Sweat all day in the sun!
Roofer by trade,
           F
Quite a bundle I've made,
        D 
I'm unionized roofin' old
          G
Son-of-a-gun!
(He's a unionized roofin' old
Son-of-a-gun!)

Then the same for the next 2 verses

When I get off, I get plastered
Drink till I fall onna floor,
Find me some Communist bastard,
'N stomp on his face till he don't
Move no more!
(He stomps on his face till he don't
Move no more!)

I fuss, an' I cuss an' I keep on drinkin',
Till my eyes puff up an' turn red!
I drool on m'shirt,
I see if he's hurt,
Kick him again in the head, yes!
D                       G
Kick him again in the head, boys!

Then repeat 'Im lonesome Cowboy Burt' verse before finishing
