Errol's Song
Adam Carroll
MrD. Errol he lives on thGe banks of Lake Arthur
Where your Dwindshield gets foggy, where your back roads 
uAnwind
It’s a lDong way from Shreveport, not Gtoo far from Gueydan
And it’s Dclose to the home that AI left beDhind
Yah it’s Dclose to the home that AI left beDhind
Mr. DErrol’s a father, he’s a Gfarmer, he’s a hunter
And he Dtalks to the ducks and the geese in the bAlind
He works Dhard for the lives that he Ghelps to make better
And he Dlives by the graveyard of the Arusted comDbines
And Ghe held my hand when my Dboots got too heavy
With the Gmud from the rice fields coming Dto my beAhind
We Dset out the decoys in the Gdark on the Dlevy
And we Dwalked through the graveyard of the Arusted comDbines
There’s Dcoffee and biscuits on the Gstove in the kitchen
There’s a Dcrack in the ceiling and a screened in front Adoor
And as the Dfog starts to settle on the Gbanks of Lake Arthur
I can Dstill taste the whiskey from the Anight just beDfore
It’s the DCrown Royal whiskey from the Anight just beDfore
And it’s Ghard to get up at Dfive in the morning
Put your Gguns, put your shells, put your Dwine in a Asack
We look Dlike some militia in our Gboots and our camo
With a Dbird dog named Milo, he’s aAsleep in the Dback
GHe held my hand when my Dboots got too heavy
With the Gmud from the rice fields coming Dto my beAhind
We Dset out the decoys in the Gdark on the Dlevy
And we Dwalked through the graveyard of the Arusted comDbines
The Dcombine’s a monster, Gcombine’s a saviour
Looking Ddown at the blades I can see heaven and Ahell
Cold Dsteel cut the rice crops for Gacres and acres
FilleDd how many barrels?  MaAn I cannoDt tell
FilleDd how many dryers?  MaAn I cannoDt tell
From tDhe banks of Lake Arthur to tGhe Mermitah River
There’Ds water as far as your good eyes can sAee
At the DLake Arthur bar all the Gold men get rowdy
They got Dbottles of whiskey that are Aolder than Dme
GHe held my hand when my Dboots got too heavy
With the Gmud from the rice fields coming Dto my beAhind
We Dset out the decoys in the Gdark on the Dlevy
And we Dwalked through the graveyard of the Arusted comDbines
DSometimes I dream of a Ggirl in a pickup
With her Dwindow rolled down and her radio Aon
And you Dlook at the cypress on the GHighway 190
And you Dgive her away and you Asing Jole BDlon
And you Dgive her away and you Asing Jole BDlon
And Mr. DErrol’s a good friend he Gnever a stranger
When I Dcome back it seems like I’ve always been Ahere
There’s a Dsign in his kitchen it’s Gwritten in French
“If you Drun out of Schlitz, you’ve Arun out of Dbeer”
GHe held my hand when my Dboots got too heavy
With the Gmud from the rice fields coming Dto my beAhind
We Dset out the decoys in the Gdark on the Dlevy
And we Dwalked through the graveyard of the Arusted comDbines

Errol's Song

Adam Carroll

D G

Mr. Errol he lives on the banks of Lake Arthur

Where your windshield gets foggy, where your back roads

unwind

D G

It’s a long way from Shreveport, not too far from Gueydan

D A D

And it’s close to the home that I left behind

D A D

Yah it’s close to the home that I left behind

D G

Mr. Errol’s a father, he’s a farmer, he’s a hunter

D A

And he talks to the ducks and the geese in the blind

D G

He works hard for the lives that he helps to make better

D A D

And he lives by the graveyard of the rusted combines

G D

And he held my hand when my boots got too heavy

G D A

With the mud from the rice fields coming to my behind

D G D

We set out the decoys in the dark on the levy

D A D

And we walked through the graveyard of the rusted combines

D G

There’s coffee and biscuits on the stove in the kitchen

D A

There’s a crack in the ceiling and a screened in front door

D G

And as the fog starts to settle on the banks of Lake Arthur

D A D

I can still taste the whiskey from the night just before

D A D

It’s the Crown Royal whiskey from the night just before

G D

And it’s hard to get up at five in the morning

G D A

Put your guns, put your shells, put your wine in a sack

D G

We look like some militia in our boots and our camo

D A D

With a bird dog named Milo, he’s asleep in the back

G D

He held my hand when my boots got too heavy

G D A

With the mud from the rice fields coming to my behind

D G D

We set out the decoys in the dark on the levy

D A D

And we walked through the graveyard of the rusted combines

D G

The combine’s a monster, combine’s a saviour

D A

Looking down at the blades I can see heaven and hell

D G

Cold steel cut the rice crops for acres and acres

D A D

Filled how many barrels? Man I cannot tell

D A D

Filled how many dryers? Man I cannot tell

D G

From the banks of Lake Arthur to the Mermitah River

D A

There’s water as far as your good eyes can see

D G

At the Lake Arthur bar all the old men get rowdy

D A D

They got bottles of whiskey that are older than me

G D

He held my hand when my boots got too heavy

G D A

With the mud from the rice fields coming to my behind

D G D

We set out the decoys in the dark on the levy

D A D

And we walked through the graveyard of the rusted combines

D G

Sometimes I dream of a girl in a pickup

D A

With her window rolled down and her radio on

D G

And you look at the cypress on the Highway 190

D A D

And you give her away and you sing Jole Blon

D A D

And you give her away and you sing Jole Blon

D G

And Mr. Errol’s a good friend he never a stranger

D A

When I come back it seems like I’ve always been here

D G

There’s a sign in his kitchen it’s written in French

D A D

“If you run out of Schlitz, you’ve run out of beer”

G D

He held my hand when my boots got too heavy

G D A

With the mud from the rice fields coming to my behind

D G D

We set out the decoys in the dark on the levy

D A D

And we walked through the graveyard of the rusted combines
