Montgomery Gentry

Written By: Ronny Scaife / Don Scaife/ Phil Thomas

Intro: D

Verse 1:

D

Every Friday evening about sundown

Ole' Black Jack Fletcher and Mississippi Sam

G A

Come ridin' their mules and leading their hounds

D

Down to my place

D

They holler "Hey son" have you got a drank

Gonna make it hard on you if you ain't

G A D

I'd grin and point to a jug coolin' in the spring

D

They turn the hounds loose and let'em run

Drink a little whiskey and have a lot of fun

G A D

Talk about the days when they were younger than nowadays

D

Talk about women young and old

It was hard to believe all the stories told

G A D

Wonder how they got to be as old as they are now

Chorus:

G

Well Black Jack Fletcher and Mississippi Sam

Fought together in Vietnam

D A

Mean as hell but they say, "Yes mam" to your momma

G

They gambled away all the money they made

Knowing they was never gonna change their ways

D A D

Living out every single day like another wasn't comin'

Verse 2:

D

Well Ole' Black Jack Fletcher was an onry man

Mississippi Sam didn't give a damn

G A D

They'd steal a lady from a man while he was lookin'

D

Well there ain't no doubt they was both outlaws

Turnin' yellow corn into alcohol

G A D

But they never hurt no one who didn't need a hurtin'

Chorus:

G

Black Jack Fletcher and Mississippi Sam

Always getting in and out of a jam

D A

Makin' up their own law of the land, while a runnin'

G

They knew life was just a luck of the draw

So they played a game with the local law

D A D

Laughin' and sayin' a catchin' comes before a hangin'

Verse 3:

D

Now I wouldn't take nothin' for those days

Every now and then I visit their graves

G A

And as the moon hangs in the haze

N/C D

I have a drink to Fletcher and Sam
