DWell poor Tom Jefferson
He loved the little maid out back (do lick 3 times)
DMidnight creepin' out to the servant's shack (lick 3 times)
EKept a secret under the bed
DWrapped in a burlap sack (lick)
DWell I drove all day and night
Out to Jericho (lick 3 times)
DBut in my second mind
I knew it was time to go (lick)
EYeah and I still get nervous every time
DThat bugle blows (lick)
Harp solo over A, guitar solo over full chord pattern
DWell she ain't no good for me
But I just can't let go (lick)
DIf I sit here thinking
My thoughts will overflow (lick)
EAnd I can't keep from crying
DCan't keep time from moving slow (lick)
go out over  A-  C-  A-  G-   Achord boogie.  End on  Achord flare.

Well poor Tom Jefferson

He loved the little maid out back (do lick 3 times)

Midnight creepin' out to the servant's shack (lick 3 times)

Kept a secret under the bed

Wrapped in a burlap sack (lick)

Well I drove all day and night

Out to Jericho (lick 3 times)

But in my second mind

I knew it was time to go (lick)

Yeah and I still get nervous every time

That bugle blows (lick)

Harp solo over A, guitar solo over full chord pattern

Well she ain't no good for me

But I just can't let go (lick)

If I sit here thinking

My thoughts will overflow (lick)

And I can't keep from crying

Can't keep time from moving slow (lick)
