Leroy The Redneck Reindeer
Joe Diffie
[Intro]
EYou've all heard the story about ARudolph and his Enose
EBut I'll tell you a Christmas tale that F#7never has been B7told
Well, Eyou may think you've heard it all but you Aain't heard nothin' yA7et
EAbout that crazy Christmas that the B7North pole can't forEget
[Verse 1]
ERudolph was under the weather he Ahad to call in Esick
ESo he got on the horn to his cousin Leroy who F#7lived out in the B7sticks
He said ESanta's really counting on me and I Ahate to pass the Ebuck
ALeroy said Hey I'm Eon my way and he jB7umped in his pick-up tEruck
[Verse 2]
EWhen Leroy got to the North Pole all the Areindeer snickered and Elaughed
EThey never seen a deer in overalls and a F#7John Deere Tractor B7hat
EBut Santa stepped in and said
Just calm down cause we've Aall got a job to A7do
ELike it or not, Leroy's in charge and he's B7gonna be leading Eyou
[Chorus]
And it was ELeroy, the redneck reindeer
AHooked to the front of the Esleigh
EDelivering toys to all the good ol' boys and F#7girls along the B7way
EHe's just a down home party animal, two Astepping across the A7sky
He mixed Ejingle bells with a rebel yell and made B7history that Enight
[Turnaround]
E E B7 E
[Verse 3]
EBefore that night was over ALeroy had changed their Etune
EHe had 'em scootin' a hoof on every single roof
By the F#7light of a neon B7moon
ESanta wrapped his bag with a Dixie flag
He was Ahaving the time of his A7life
You can Ehear him call Merry Christmas y'all
And to B7all of y'all a good Enight.
[Chorus]
And it was ELeroy, the redneck reindeer
AHooked to the front of the Esleigh
EDelivering toys to all the good ol' boys and F#7girls along the B7way
EHe's just a down home party animal, two Astepping across the A7sky
He mixed Ejingle bells with a rebel yell and made B7history that Enight
He mixed Ejingle bells with a rebel yell and made B7history that Enight
[Outro]
