My old Kentucky home - Randy Newman


E7
Turpentine and dandelion wine
                             A7
I've turned the corner, I'm doin' fine
                             E7
Shootin' at the birds on the telephoneline
B7                           E7
Pickin' them off with this gun o' mine
         A7                     E7
I got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head
         B7                         E7
Growing higher and higher 'till I'm dead

Sister Sue she's short and stout
She didn't grow up, she grew out
Mama thinks she's plain, but she's just being kind
Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's almost blind
We don't let her out much except at night
But I don't care 'cause I'm allright


E7                                 A7              E7
O-ho, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
E7                       B7
Young folks roll on the floor
E7                                 A7              E7
O-ho, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
E7                     B7          E7
Keep them hard times away from my door

Brother Gene, he's big and mean
And he don't have much to say
Got a little woman who he whooped eached day
But now she's gone away
Got drunk last night, kicked mama down the stairs
But I'm allright, so I don't care
