D   C   G   D
Way Ddown in Louisiana, where the Cadd9moss and cyprus grew,
You'd Gfind old Jack in a shotgun shack
In the G7back of the black baDyou.
Some folks called him crazy, but I Cadd9knew better than that,
He kept a Ghundred dollar bill tucked away in the brim
Of his G7dirty old cowboy Dhat.
DJack told me a story when Cadd9I was ten years old,
He said there Gonce was a fool tried to swim this swamp
With his G7back weighted down with Dgold.
He said "You should have seen that alligator smile,
He had a Cadd9meal fit for a king, buGt he ended up on my table son,
G7Money ain't everyDthing."
He said there's Gonly one way into this world,
And Done way out, its true.
GYou either eat the alligator or Ahe's gonna eat you.
There's Gpeople living in a high rise,
That'll Dnever hear a robin G7sing.
What Dgood is first place when you're in a rat race?
CMoney ain't everyDthing.C  G  D  
DLittle Maggie May was dyin', her Cadd9heart was about to go,
When her Gdaddy found a sack on the porch out back
With G7half a million dollars in Dgold.
They still talk about the stranger who Cadd9saved her life that spring,
GNo name on the note, but someone wrote:
G7Money ain't everyDthing.
He said there's Gonly one way into this world,
And Done way out, its true.
GYou either eat the alligator or Ahe's gonna eat you.
There's Gpeople living in a high rise,
That'll Dnever hear a robin G7sing.
What Dgood is first place when you're in a rat race?
CMoney ain't everyDthing.
No name on the note, but I know who wrote:

Jack told me a story when I was ten years old,

He said there once was a fool tried to swim this swamp

With his back weighted down with gold.

He said "You should have seen that alligator smile,

He had a meal fit for a king, but he ended up on my table son,

And one way out, its true.

And one way out, its true.
