Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Down in West Cal Parish,
about 20 miles from Arkansas
Left a man and his wife
and four or five children
The weirdest people I ever saw,
G 
old man Willis
D 
That's what everybody called him
A 
He used to chase his young 'uns
G 
and his wife
D 
With his jimbo -yung knife
Well, he had four coons,
a cat and a hound dog
That stayed in the same house with him
They ate from his dinner table,
G 
D 
drank from his water bucket
Slept in the same bed with him,
old man Willis
G 
D 
Where do y 'all come from?
A 
He used to chase his youngins
G 
and his poor wife
D 
With his double -bladed hunting knife
Well, mama say she thought he was crazy
That he say he just a drunk
Some people say that he
made his living
makin' whiskey
Ab 
in the Beth River swamps
D 
G 
Old man Willis,
D 
where do you get your bread?
A 
He used to chase his young 'uns
G 
and his poor wife
D 
With his jimbo and a knife
We used to see him comin'
down the dirt road
In his forty -nine pocket
Mama would holler,
y 'all get under the house
With his drive like a maniac
A 
G 
D 
G 
Old Man Willis,
D 
where do y 'all come from?
A 
He used to chase his youngins
G 
and his poor wife
D 
With his jimbo and knife
G 
Old Man Willis,
D 
where do y 'all come from?

G 
and his poor wife
D 
With his double -bladed hunting knife
