Walker Charlie - Moffett Oklahoma guitar tab

MOFFETT, OKLAHOMA

Recorded by Charlie Walker

Words and music by Curtis Leach

[D] Well, I rolled into Moff-[D7] ett Okla-[G] homa

[A] Down by the Arkan-[A7] sas state [D] line ...[A7]

I [D] walked into a honky [D7] tonk and [G] ordered

A [A] glass - of Cali-[A7] fornia [D] wine. [P]

[NC] He said, "We got [D] Oklahoma [D7] Blue

And [G] Arkansas homebrew

But, [A] No sir, we don't dig that [A7] foreign [D] kind ...[A7]

We got [D] Brandy, Rum and [D7] Gin

And [G] moonshine for the men

But [A] we don't dig no Cali-[A7] fornia [D] wine."

A big cat stood up at a piano

His beard was at least a foot long

I walked up to the bandstand and asked him

To play me a hillbilly song. [P]

[NC] He said, "We play Rock and we play Pop

We play Blues and we play Bop

But, No sir, we don't dig, 'Down On The Farm'

We play Jazz and we play Jerk

And we watch those mini-skirts

But we don't dig no hillbilly song."

I sat myself down at a poker table

The sign said, Dealers' Choice - I played awhile

When my deal came, I flipped the first card over

Said, "Spit in the ocean, Cucamonga style!" [P]

[NC] He said, "We play Draw and we play Stud

And I mean, bud, we play for blood

But, No sir, we don't dig no, 'Nothin' wild!'

You can buy one in a pinch

Stack the deck or check a cinch

But, we don't dig no, 'Cucamonga style'."

(Change to E:)

I dropped a dollar on the blackjack table

And told the dealer, "Let the face cards fall!"

I turned over 18 and said, "Hit me!"

Well, he did and that's the last thing I recall.

Well, I guess you know the rest

I've got my semi pointed West

Yessir - whine, big Diesel, whine

And if I ever see old Moffett, Oklahoma, again

It'll be west of the California line.

TAG: They'll have to move it - west of that California line.
