7. Country Death Song

The bassline starts, the after a few measures, the guitar kicks in with this.

This is the pluck/strum pattern that is consistent throughout the entire song, it is

just pluck the third string, then strum the entire chord, then pluck the fourth then strum

entire chord. The lead instrument in the song is the banjo.

I Dm had me a wife, I had me some daughters.

I Am tried so hard, I never knew still waters.

No Dm thing to eat and nothing to drink.

No Dm thing for a man to do but sit around and think.

No Dm thing for a man to do but sit ar Am ound and think. Dm

We Dm ll, I'm a-thinkin' and a-thinkin', till there's nothin' I ain't thunk.

Br Am eathing in the stink, till finally I stunk.

It Dm was at that time, I swear I lost my mind.

I Dm started making plans to kill my own kind.

I Dm started making plans to kill my Am own kind. Dm

"C Dm ome, little daughter," I said to the youngest one,

"P Am ut your coat on, we'll have some fun.

We Dm 'll go out to the mountains, the one to explore."

He Dm r face, it lit up, I was standing by the door.

He Dm r face, it lit up, I was standin Am g by the door. Dm

"C Dm ome, little daughter, I will carry the lanterns.

We Am 'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caverns.

We Dm 'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caves.

Ki Dm ss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.

Ki Dm ss your mother goodnight and rem Am ember that God saves." Dm

(For this verse, the guitar part is only a percussive raking of the strings, Gordon

just strikes on the quarter notes but sometimes he mixes it up and plays a few eighth or

I led her to a hole, a deep black well.

I said "make a wish, make sure and not tell

And close your eyes dear, and count to seven.

Know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.

Know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven."

(No guitar for this verse)

I gave her a push, I gave her a shove.

I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love.

I threw my child into a bottomless pit.

She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.

(Continues with percussive quarter note strums.)

(The bridge for the guitar is the same as the first verse, I have listened to the song

closely and any leads or solos are banjo or bass, the guitar just strums)

(The next two verses are just percussive rakes of the strings)

Gather 'round, boys, to the tale that I tell.

You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell?

It's guaranteed to get your own place in hell.

Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well.

Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well.

Don't speak to me of lovers with a broken heart.

You wanna know what will really tear you apart?

I'm going out to the barn, with a never-stoppin' pain.

I'm going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame.

Verse 1

I dig the black girls, oh so much more than the white girls

I was so pleased to learn they were faster

yeah guess guess guess guess guess who I'm after

Along comes little faggot white boy

Said look, look, look first kind of joy

They come around so queer and quiet

but inside rebel and riot

So I, dig the white boys

so much more that the black boys

I was so pleased to learn they're not smarter

Come on, give, give, give it to me harder, harder, harder, just say harder
