Verse 2
I'd (G major) grin and point to a (C major) jug
coolin' in the (D major) spring
They turn the hounds loose
and let'em run
Drink a little whiskey and have a lot of fun
(G major) Talk about the days when (C major) they
were (G major) younger than (D major) nowadays
Verse 3
(D major) Talk about women young and old
It was hard to believe all the stories told
Won (G major) der how they to (C major) be as
(G major) old as they (F major) are now (D major)
Well (G major) Black Jack Fletcher
and Mississippi Sam (C major)
(G major) Fought together in Vietnam (C major)
(G major) Mean as hell but they say,
"Yes (C major) ma'am" to your (D major) momma
Verse 4
They (G major) gambled away all the
money they (C major) made
(G major) Knowing they was never gonna
change their ways (C major)
(G major) Living out every single day like an
(C major) other wasn't (D major) comin'
(C major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 5
Well Ole' Black Jack Fletcher
was an ornery man
Mississippi Sam didn't give a damn
They'd (G major) steal a lady from a (C major) man
(G major) while he was (D major) lookin'
Well there ain't no doubt
they was both outlaws
Turnin' yellow corn into alcohol
But they (G major) never hurt no one (C major) who
(G major) didn't need a (D major) hurtin'
Verse 6
(G major) Black Jack Fletcher
and Mississippi Sam (C major)
(G major) Always getting in and out of a jam (C major)
(G major) Makin' up their own law of the (C major) land,
while a (D major) runnin'
(G major) They knew life was just a luck of the draw
(C major) So they (G major) played a game
with the local law (C major)
(G major) Laughin' and sayin' a catchin'
comes (C major) before a (D major) hangin'
Interlude 1
(D major)
Verse 7
Now I (D major) wouldn't take nothin'
for those days
Every now and then I visit their graves
And as the (C major) moon hangs in the (G major) haze
I have me a drink (D major) to Fletcher and Sam
