D G D

Early one day the sun wouldn't shine

G - D A7

I was walking down the street not feeling too fine

D G D

I saw two old men with a bottle between 'em

G - D A7 - D

And this was the song that I heard them singing

D D

Lord preserve us and protect us,

Em A7 D-A7 G-D G-D A7-D

We've been drinking whiskey 'fore breakfast

D G D

Well I stopped by the steps where they was sitting

G - D A7

And I couldn't believe how drunk they were getting

D G D

I said "old men, have you been drinking long?"

G - D A7 - D

They said "just long enough to be singing this song"

D G G

Well they passed me the bottle and I took a little sip

G - D A7

And it felt so good I just couldn't quit

D G D

I drank some more and next thing I knew

G - D A7 - D

There were three of us sitting there singing this tune

D G D

One by one everybody in the town

G - D A7

They heard our ruckus and they all came down

D G D

And pretty soon all the streets were ringing

G - D A7 - D

With the sound of the whole town laughing and singing
