Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Every [D]Friday evening about sundown
Ole' Black Jack Fletcher
and Mississippi Sam
Come [G]ridin' their mules and
[C]leading their hound[G]s
Down to [D]my place
They holler "Hey son"
have you got a drink
Gonna make it hard on you if you ain't

[Verse 2]
I'd [G]grin and point to a [C]jug
coolin' in the [D]spring
They turn the hounds loose
and let'em run
Drink a little whiskey and have a lot of fun
[G]Talk about the days when [C]they
were [G]younger than [D]nowadays

[Verse 3]
[D]Talk about women young and old
It was hard to believe all the stories told
Won[G]der how they to [C]be as
[G]old as they [F]are [D]now
Well [G]Black Jack Fletcher
and Mississippi [C]Sam
[G]Fought together in Viet[C]nam
[G]Mean as hell but they say,
"Yes [C]ma'am" to your [D]momma

[Verse 4]
They [G]gambled away all the
money they [C]made
[G]Knowing they was never gonna
change [C]their ways
[G]Living out every single day like an
[C]other wasn't [D]comin'
[C][G][D]

[Verse 5]
Well Ole' Black Jack Fletcher
was an ornery man
Mississippi Sam didn't give a damn
They'd [G]steal a lady from a [C]man
[G]while he was [D]lookin'
Well there ain't no doubt
they was both outlaws
Turnin' yellow corn into alcohol
But they [G]never hurt no [C]one who
[G]didn't need a [D]hurtin'

[Verse 6]
[G]Black Jack Fletcher
and Mississippi [C]Sam
[G]Always getting in and out [C]of a jam
[G]Makin' up their own law of the [C]land,
while a [D]runnin'
[G]They knew life was just a luck of the draw
[C]So they pla[G]yed a game
with the local [C]law
[G]Laughin' and sayin' a catchin'
comes [C]before a [D]hangin'

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 7]
Now I [D]wouldn't take nothin'
for those days
Every now and then I visit their graves
And as the [C]moon hangs in the [G]haze
I have me a drink [D]to Fletcher and Sam
