Barefoot Boy Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]When [E]I w[A]as [D]a little boy,
barefooted I'd [A]like [D]to go
In the spring or [Bm]sum mer[B]time,
there [Eb]was no i[E]ce or [A]snow
When [D]I was tired and nearly dead,
[G]these are the words [Gm]that
Mama said
[D]Go and wash those [B]dirty feet
before [E]you go [D]to bed
When I would get out of school,
[E]I could h[A]ardly w[D]ait
I'd have my brogands in [B]my hand
be[E]fore I'd hit the [A]gate
I'd [D]romp and play till nearly dead,
that [G]same old line mama always [Gm]said
[D]Go and wash those [B]dirty feet [E]before you [A]go to [D]bed[Bm][B][E][A][D]
[A][D][E][A][D][G]
[Gm][D][E][A][D][E][A][D][B][E][A][D][G]
[D][E][A]
[D]When winters [C#]passed and the [D]viol[C#]ets blew
[D]And t[E]he springtime roll[A]ed around
[D]My tiny feet got to [B]itching so to
[E]touch the cuckoo [A]ground
But [D]I remember what
Mama said, those [G]words still
echo [Gm]through my head
[D]Go and wash those [B]dirty feet [E]before you
go to [D]bed[E][A][D]
[E][A][D][G][Gm][D]
I'd draw the water from the well
and [E]grab the [A]old wash [D]pan
Just a fussin' and a [Bm]fumin'
[B]like any ord[E]inary man[A]
But [D]if I brushed them off instead,
[G]mama would make [Gm]my bottom re[D]d
Go and wash those [B]dirty
feet [E]before you go [A]to [D]bed
