3rd day of August
G
D
was his worst one on the line
He could hardly swing his hammer
A
D
while the sun was getting high
He'd get a little water
G
D
but the fever drank his jive
Robert handed him the ladle,
A
D
said, son, you can have some of mine
G
He said, there's some other bayou
A
D
we're gonna get to
C
G
There's more to live through
A
before we chase down the
D
G
D
G

hurricane
G
Both servin' time for crimes
D
that they had no part
Hard labor at Angola
A
D
is a bad place where to start
From the end of a ball and chain
G
D
you can't get too far
The robber told him
I had to keep the flame
A
D
burnin' in your heart
Old Robert told them, man,
A
to keep the flame burnin'
D
down in your heart
G
Because if some other bayou
A
D
we're gonna get to
G
There's more to live through
A
D
before we chase down the hurricane

I'm going
Five July's later said now
G
D
Robert's in this water slow
Need to rest up for the journey
A
D
cause we got a good ways to go
Remember those grandkids
G
you swore you'd see
D
before they'd get old
They're gonna greet us at the parish
A
on the farm
D
that's gonna be your home
We're crossin' over on the ferry
A
D
to the parish where the gates are goin'
G
He said, there's some other bayou
A
D
we're gonna get to
G
There's more to live through
A
before we chase down the hurricane
D
C

Yeah, there's some other bayou
A

we're gonna get to
C

There's more to live through
A
before we chase down the hurricane

Before we chase down the hurricane

Before we chase down
