Squeeze Box
(Monty Criswell/Michael White)
[Intro]
A D A E A
AI'm slippin' into Slidell, Ethe boys and me                             
Take a left at the Texaco, gonna see ASweet Marie
She plays down at Jimbeaux's Gumbo and EWashtub
In calico and barefeet in a band called the AMudbugs
F#mI been workin' up my nerve and I Dcan hardly wait
ETonight when she asks for request
I'll stand up and say
[Chorus]
AI wanna be your squeeze box
Always at your Efingertips
I wanna be your blues harp
A little closer Ato your lips
Let me be your washboard
You can play me Dfast or slow
ASqueeze box, blues harp, washboard baby
EAnything you can Ahold
A D A E A
AGot a bucket full of crawfish, a seat on the Efront row
Just to sit this close to her, it's like a shot of Atabasco
Makin' trips to the tip jar, keep it full of Edollar bills
Tonight I'm gonna go for broke, show her just Ahow I feel
F#mOne way or another, Lord, she's Dgonna notice me
EIf I have to jump up on that stage and get down on my knees
I'll be beggin her please
Let me be your Asqueeze box
Always at your fEingertips
I wanna be your blues harp
A little closer Ato your lips
Let me be your washboard
You can play me Dfast or slow
ASqueeze box, blues harp, washboard baby
EAnything you can Ahold
ASqueeze box, Ablues harp, Awashboard, Ababy
EAnything you can Ahold
 A   E   A   E   Afade out

I'm slippin' into Slidell, the boys and me

Take a left at the Texaco, gonna see Sweet Marie

She plays down at Jimbeaux's Gumbo and Washtub

In calico and barefeet in a band called the Mudbugs

F#m D

I been workin' up my nerve and I can hardly wait

Tonight when she asks for request

I'll stand up and say

[Chorus]

I wanna be your squeeze box

Always at your fingertips

I wanna be your blues harp

A little closer to your lips

Let me be your washboard

You can play me fast or slow

Squeeze box, blues harp, washboard baby

E A

Anything you can hold

A D A E A

A E

Got a bucket full of crawfish, a seat on the front row

Just to sit this close to her, it's like a shot of tabasco

Makin' trips to the tip jar, keep it full of dollar bills

Tonight I'm gonna go for broke, show her just how I feel

F#m D

One way or another, Lord, she's gonna notice me

If I have to jump up on that stage and get down on my knees

I'll be beggin her please

Let me be your squeeze box

Always at your fingertips

I wanna be your blues harp

A little closer to your lips

Let me be your washboard

You can play me fast or slow

Squeeze box, blues harp, washboard baby

Anything you can hold

Squeeze box, blues harp, washboard, baby
