E7Turpentine and dandelion wine
I've turned the corner, I'm dA7oin' fine
Shootin' at the birds on the E7telephoneline
B7Pickin' them off with this guE7n o' mine
I got a fA7ire in my belly and a fE7ire in my head
Growing hB7igher and higher 'till I'm E7dead
Sister Sue she's short and stout
She didn't grow up, she grew out
Mama thinks she's plain, but she's just being kind
Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's almost blind
We don't let her out much except at night
But I don't care 'cause I'm allright
E7O-ho, the sun shines bright on my oA7ld Kentucky homeE7  
E7Young folks roll on the fB7loor
E7O-ho, the sun shines bright on my oA7ld Kentucky homeE7  
E7Keep them hard times awB7ay from my dE7oor
Brother Gene, he's big and mean
And he don't have much to say
Got a little woman who he whooped eached day
But now she's gone away
Got drunk last night, kicked mama down the stairs
But I'm allright, so I don't care
