Choc-Taw Jimmy Lyrics & Tabs by The Snake the Cross the Crown
Choc-Taw Jimmy
guitar chords lyrics
Up there, up yonder, in them Tennessee hills,
there's a boy who ain't learned how to sing.
Sometimes at night, folks swear they can hear him,
Humming so very quietly.
One day fishing at the Magnolia Creek
his feet dangled in the water below
somehow he sang out,
startled the tree trunks
and fell off head-first downwards.
Now Choc-Taw Jimmy don't sink, don't swim,
Ain't no poor bastard gonna come save him.
And poor sweet Rita don't give
a shit 'bout how her first love dives down.
In Cobb County in a courthouse in the square
there's a wind rustlin' up the leaves.
a shit 'bout how her first love dives down.
In Cobb County in a courthouse in the square
there's a wind rustlin' up the leaves.
No one objects 'cause no one believes that
a boy is this way now a-comin'
this boy comes a-runnin'
boy, is he making a scene.
He is soaked to the bone
his body dripping down the trail
of some people with their hands on their ears
no one is pleased by the sound that they hear
'Cause they know that them boys who
Sing softly don't know what they want
But they hope that it's beautifully sad.
Now Choc-Taw Jimmy don't sink, don't swim,
Ain't no poor bastard gonna come save him.
Now Choc-Taw Jimmy don't sink, don't swim,
Let the water just float you along.
