My Chickashay girl

D A

1. I left my girl in Chickashay,

D A

left that girl and ran away,

D Em G

in my heart is a melody,

D A D

and the darn old song keeps telling me :

D A

Get right back to Chickashay

D A

to that girl and never stray,

D D7 Em G

there’s a slick chicka waitin’ in my Chickashay home,

D A D

from the Chickashay girl I’m gonna never more roam.

D A

2. When two in love love as we do,

D A

there’s just one thing for us to do,

D Em G

settle down in a little home,

D A D

one that we can call our own.

D A

Raise a pig and some big pumpkin,

D A

when I get back, the trouble will end,

D D7 Em G

there’s a slick chicka waitin’ in my Chickashay home,

D A D

from the Chickashay girl I’m gonna never more roam.

D A

3. We’ll be so happy, we will sing,

D A

walk on clouds like birds on the wing,

D Em G

feeling cool in our love nest,

D A D

for the Chickashay girl I love the best.

D A

Maybe as the years roll by,

D A

a tiny bundle we will buy,

D D7 Em G

there’s a slick chicka waitin’ in my Chickashay home,

D A D

from the Chickashay girl I’m gonna never more roam.

D A

4. I’ll pack my bags and away I’ll go,

D A

tell you folks, here’s what I know,

D Em G

a rolling stone don’t have no moss,

D A D

I’m gonna settle down with a permanent boss.

D A

Just can’t wait till I get back,

D A

to the girl I know in the Chickashay shack,

D D7 Em G

there’s a slick chicka waitin’ in my Chickashay home,

D A D

from the Chickashay girl I’m gonna never more roam.
