[Verse 1]
[G]I know [Gdim]the[A][Am][D]
[G]yellow dog [D]district [G]like a book
[D]Indee[G]d,
I know the [D]route that [G]rider took
[C]Every cross, Tybee, Euburgh, [G]and Bog
[Bbdim]Way down [Bb]where[C] the[D]
southern [Ebdim]cross the[D] Do[C]g[G]
Well, money don't sadly grow on trees
On cotton stalks it grows with ease
No [C]racehorse, racetrack, no brand studies
[G]Like old Beckley and[C] Bucksho[G]tland
[D]Way down where the Southern
crossed [G]the [C]Dole[G]
[Em]Every [G]kitchen there
[C]is a cav[G]alry
Down there the [C]boll weevil works
while the farmers [G]play
[C]This [G]yellow[C], dark bru[A]ise,
the [C]live [D]long [Ddim]day
[D]Dear Sue, your eas[G]y rid[C]er
[G]Struck [A]this [G]bird today
on a [C]southbound rattler
Side door pullman [G]car[C][G]
I've [D]seen [Bm]him [C]here,
and he was [C]on the [G]hog
The smoke [Bm]was broke, [D]no joke,
not a jitney [G]on an easy [C]rider
[C]Gotta [G]stay away, so he [C]had to vamp it
[G]But [C]the hike ain't far[G][C][G]
He's [D]gone where the southern
[A]crossed the [C]yellow [G]dog
Yes, he's [D]gone [Am]where
the [D]southern
[Bbaug]crossed t[Bbdim]he yellow[C] dog[G]
Oh, he's [D]gone where the [Ddim]southern
[D]crossed the yellow [Am]dog y[G]ou
