He's a-ridin' saddle of a single foot roan

A B7 E

That ol' roan's got green in his eyes

Mean as the devil and twice as wise

Fire in his nose and a bow in his back

Can't nobody ride him but Boss Jack

INSTRUMENTAL: A E B7 E

VERSE:

Now here a while back when the crop was laid by

Remember who took us on a big fish fry

Caught a heap of catfish, goggle-eye, and carp

Danced and sung to the guitar and harp

Well someday ol' Boss Jack's gonna set us all free

Gabriel's gonna blow for you and me

Angel's gonna bring that chariot from above

Flappin' their wings like a turtledove

REPEAT CHORUS
