THE WORLD AND THE SUCK
A
It took a mighty good man with salty hands
E
And a mighty long raft to keep the fore before the aft
A
You take ten good men and guts and luck
E A
And you might navigate the whirl and the suck
A E
Well, the Tennessee River changed its mind At Chattanooga she oughta unwind
A
She could a run right on the Georgia Sea
E
But she cut right back through Tennessee
A
Well, the settlers come by raft
E
And boat bringin' everything that could stay a float
A
But like a loco horse that'll twist and buck
E A
They hardly ever made it through the whirl and the suck
A
It took a mighty good man with salty hands
E
And a mighty long raft to keep the fore before the aft
A
You take ten good men and guts and luck
E A
And you might navigate the whirl and the suck
A
General Washington was in his knicker bocks
E
The Cherokee Indians through the Chattanooga Rocks
A
And the Chickamagua tribe and the Nickajack
E A
They kept the watch where the river cut back
A
And if a raft or a boat ever rode the bend
E A
The Indians got 'em cause they had 'em hemmed in
A
It took a mighty good man with salty hands
E
And a mighty long raft to keep the fore before the aft
A
You take ten good men and guts and luck
E A
And you might navigate the whirl and the suck
