C
There's an old man who lives by the river
G7 C
In an old log cabin with the cracks in the wall
Makes his livin' by the catchin' of the fish
G7 C
If he don't catch many well he can't fix the wall
F F
Oo-ee the whistle of the wind
G7 C
Nail up the boards where the wind goes in
F C
Oo-ee can't go to sleep,
G7 C
Wade across the river where the waters ain't deep
Old man prayed the big fish are bitin'
G7 C
The time of the year it's late in the fall
Winter's 'commin' the winds gonna whistle
G7 C
Snow gonna blow through the cracks in the wall
F C
Oo-ee the whistle of the wind
G7 C
Nail up the boards where the wind goes in
F C
Oo-ee can't go to sleep,
G7 C
Wade across the river where the water ain't deep
The old man Courted a pretty youg maiden
G7 C
A maiden that he loved most of all
She ran away with a cool river gambler
G7 C
Cool river gambler, seven feet tall
