Old Oaken Bucket chords by Smoky Dawson
Verse 1
D
G
D
The next song takes me back to a tour
I did into the Daisy Mountains
A
beyond Chattanooga.
D
Most everybody there was a moonshiner
A
D
A
and I was lucky to get out alive.
D
They sure did throw the lead around there
A
D
E
A
D
and this song is about them.
G
D
They shall hold in the Hall of King Bat -Tek
A
And it won't hold no water no more
D
G
D
They shall hold in the Hall of King Bat -Tek
A
And through it the water does pour
D
Oh, he were the best pale
G
in the mountains
E
A
With nearly a defect of glow
D
G
D
Oh, that hole in the o 'erlooking bucket
B
E
A
D
Was put there when boys shot at four
G
Now my pappy was far too romantic
D
A
He was sure bound to come to some hill
D
And the one thing that
G
night broke him frantic
D
A
E
A
Was the hussy that lived on the hill
D
G
Oh, he said it were right for her to help her
E
A
To the well by the old water mill
D
G
D
Just to carry her old looking bucket
B
E
A
For his name was Jack and
D
E
A
D
hers was Jim
G
But my ma said she thought
D
that's no reason
A
For my poor pappy's carrying on
D
And she said he was fly
G
D
ing sure as sneezing
A
E
For his name weren't Jack, it was John
A
D
G
Then my ma told my mother to get up
E
A
And act like a true -blood man
D
G
D
And when he was able to sit up
B
E
A
D
My ma pulled the trigger again
G
D
There's a hole in your lookin' bucket
A
And it won't hold no water no more
D
G
D
So I plugged up my hole with a finger
A
E
A
And threw it through water be fore
D
G
Oh, I guess there's no use in denying
E
A
The end of my bucketless game
D
G
D
Oh, there'd not been a hole in that bucket
B
E
A
D
E
A
D
If more had it took better end
You
Old Oaken Bucket
