[Verse 1]
DBilly pulled in in a Jaguar, red conCvertible ‘6G5
Headed Dhome to Mississippi, he'd been around the world
that Cblack sheep uncle Gof mine
His Cship had come in, he was lookin’ to sin
Gsingin’ his own song
When he Cyelled from the drive, my heart came alive
said, "DJimmy, boy, come along"Em  D/F#  
[Chorus]
It’s Gtime to see the Fworld, it’s Ctime to kiss the Ggirl
It’s Gtime to D/F#cross the Emwild meDridiCanD  
Grab your Gbag and take a Fchance
Time to Clearn a Cajun Gdance
GKid, you're D/F#gonna sEmee the Dmornin’ Csun
On the DPascagoula GRunD  G  
The DPascagoula GRunD  G  
[Verse 2]
DFriday night at the State Line Bar
where the Cwaterfront people Gdwell
I better Dwatch my step if the floor caves in
I'll Cgo right straight to Ghell
There were Cpinball machines and Cajun queens
Gmen with knives and scars
Billy Cmoved ‘cross the floor to the real hardcore and said,
"DHere's were it gets bizarre"Em  D/F#  
[Chorus]
It’s Gtime to see the Fworld, it’s Ctime to kiss the Ggirl
It’s Gtime to D/F#cross the Emwild merDidiaCnD  
Grab your Gbag and take a Fchance
Time to Clearn a Cajun Gdance
GKid, you're D/F#gonna sEmee the Dmornin’ Csun
On the DPascagoula GRunD  G  
The DPascagoula GRunD  G  
[Interlude]
[Layout in G for 12 bars]
[Bridge]
GWhat do the ladies say, what do the ladies say?
GWhat do the ladies say, what do the ladies say?
GWhat do the ladies say, what do the ladies say?
GWhat do the ladies say, what do the ladies say?
BriGng that young man over here, we're gonna buy that boy a beer
An’ Gthat ain't all we wanna do, an’ bring your crazy uncle, too
[Chorus]
It’s Gtime to see the Fworld, it’s Ctime to kiss the Ggirl
It’s Gtime to D/F#cross the Emwild merDidiaCnD  
Grab your Gbag and take a Fchance
Time to Clearn a Cajun Gdance
GKid, you're D/F#gonna sEmee the Dmornin’ Csun
