G 
She don't wear
no shoes upon her feet.
Joy.
She eats gopher stew

and possum meat.
Oh, joy.

Wears them tightly vised
that her little brother buys.

Lord, it tears me up the

way she looks me,
Ab 
D 
twixt the eyes.  she's in love with me.
G 
She lives in the suburbs
of a swamp, my joy
Every weekend through those swamps
E 
I run, see my joy
G 
Sittin' on the front porch hummin',
oh, then she sees me comin'
Drops whatever she's doin'
E 
and she comes runnin', boy

joy, joy
G 
Every weekend I dress fit to kill, just for joy
E 
I hitchhike from out of Jacksonville,
see my joy
G 
Up to the Georgia line,
amongst the swamps and pines
A 
We sit around in her backyard
D 
and drink her pappy shine
And old Harvest Moon,
G 
long about dark,
her peppy goes to bed
Good night, Joy, you behave now
That's when Joy's face
E 
starts gettin' red
G 
Cause she knows when he's gone
And we're all alone
That gal knows that's when
E 
I come on strong
Then he's gone, oh boy!

D
