In nineteen (G major)
hundred and thirty (D major) two
Honorable Governor O.K. Allen,
I'm pleading to you. (G major)
I left my wife wringing her hands (D major) and crying,
"Honorable Governor O.K. Allen,
save that man of mine." (G major)
And the Honorable Manager
Himes looked over (D major) the pen, (A major) (D major)
Told Governor O.K. Allen,
"We've got too many (G major) men."
Governor O.K. Allen began to turn (D major) about,
"We've gotta make some arrangements
to turn some of them (G major) out."
Then Honorable Manager Himes says
to Honorable Warden (D major) Long,
"We done made some arrangements
to let the men go home." (G major)
When I looked in the paper,
then I was sur (D major) prised
When I saw the number
three hundred and twenty five. (G major)
I know my wife's gonna
jump (D major) and shout
When the train rolls up and
I come stepping (G major) out.
Honorable Governor O.K. Allen,
remember him the rest of my life, (D major)
He studied up a plan to send so many
men (G major) to their wives.
When you write you a letter,
(D major) (G major) please don't (D major) forget
The Lieutenant Governor
Honorable Mr. (G major) Fournet.
Had you Governor O.K. Allen, like you got me, (D major)
I would wake up in the morning,
let you out (G major) on reprieve.
