Chords may not be exactly right.
The Em - C progression covers most of the song.)
Intro:  Em C      ( x 8)
Verse 1:  (   Em  C)
27th wagon, full of cotton
Was parked outside my chicken shack door
I kept my crib covered up in satin
In case my baby came around for more
Now I feel, Daddy, somethin's not the same
'Cause there's wGeeds, and there's rustAm  
And the roof won't hold the rain
Em   C   Em
Chorus:
GI remember better Amdays
LacCe in every window
And rosGes round the gate
NoEmw they've chased away all my friendsAm  
ADnd they've locked me out
AmAnd hung a sign on the Cfence
And it says this property is condemned
(Back to :    Em      C(x4))
Verse 2:
Take me down the Vieux Carre
Where a little girl can get a bed or a bite
If you should see me
Coughin' round the corner
Won't you mix a little sugar with my tonic tonight
I can feel like I'm part of the parade
'Cause GI feel like there's boAmurbon
Slappin' around in my veins
Em  C   Em
Chorus
Verse 3:
I got a new tiara, Daddy
Take me to the Mardi Gras
Buy me cotton candy, dress me up in satin
Let me be your babydoll
We csan ditch that social worker
In and out the swinging doors on Tchoupitoulas Street
You may call me jailbait
But I aint too little to take the heat
I can feel, phantoms blowin' thru my brain
And I feGel, like I need someone to make eAmm go away
Chorus
Fade out on Em - C
