Old Man And The River

(Hank Williams)

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

Repeat Chorus
