[Verse 1]
[E]I got a gal in C[D]e dartown Georgia I[E] used to
have to walk nearly three [Em]miles [D]to court [A]her[E]

her down to New Orleans
[B]Got a little house in the South
French Quarter

[Verse 2]
[F#]Every evenin' when the sun goes down [B]she
starts a swarmin' on Orleans town
[E]Walkin' into work this

As she [A]walked right by me and she
looked right [G]through me
