Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Dow[A]n[D]
on the farm we had
a pig, J. [A]Edgar was his [D]name
He'd eat up all our victuals
and [A]start back [D]up again
Just [G]like them vacuum cleaners
they [D]sell down in the [A]lane
Well, [D]that's how J. Edgar
[A]Hoover got his [D]name

[Verse 2]
Now, momma baked [D]a cherry
pie and [A]set it out to [Eb]cool[D]
So we'd have something good to
eat when we got home from school
J. [G]Edgar climbed up on the porch
and [D]ate up all that [A]pie
When [D]we got home that mornin'
we [A]heard our mamma [D]cry

[Verse 3]
J. Edgar, J. [D]Edgar,
just look what you've [G]done
You [D]ate up the [Bb]cherry pie that
was for [A]every[D]one
We made it through the dusters,
and the hoppers [G]too
But God help us, J. [D]Edgar,
'cause [Bb]nothin's safe from [D]you
[G][D][Bb][A][D]

[Verse 4]
We had an extra [Eb]man named [D]Bob
he [Bb]wouldn't [A]work a [D]lick
He drank bad moonshine likker,
and it [A]al ways made him [D]sick
We [G]rode to church on Sunday
and [D]stayed a while in [A]town
When [D]we reached home at suppertime,
poor Bob could [Bb]not be [Eb]found[D]

[Verse 5]
He wasn't in the parlor, [Bb]and he
wasn't in the [D]lane
Drinking in the pantry or
[A]sleepin' in the [D]hay
His [G]hat was in the pigpen,
[D]that he always [A]wore
Poor [D]Bob won't be [Eb]drinking
moonshine [Bb]likker any[D]more

[Verse 6]
J. Edgar, J. Edgar [D]it just
don't seem [G]fair
You ate [A]Bob our hired [Bb]hand
[A]while we were at [D]prayer
Let's say a prayer for old Bob,
and our country [G]too
God help us J. [D]Edgar,
[Bb]nobody's [A]safe from [D]you
[A][D]
