Old Man Willis Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Down [D]in West Cal Parish,
about 20 miles from Arkansas
Left a man and his wife
and four or five children
The weirdest people I ever saw,
old man Wil[G]lis
That's what everybody [D]called him
He used to [A]chase his young 'uns
and his [G]wife
[D]With his jimbo -yung knife
Well, he had four coons,
a cat and a hound dog
That stayed in the same house with him
They ate from his dinner table,
drank from his [G]water buck[D]et
Slept in the same bed with him,
old man Willis
[G]Where do y 'all come fro[D]m?
He used to [A]chase his youngins
and his [G]poor wife
With his [D]double -bladed hunting knife
Well, mama say she thought he was crazy
That he say he just a drunk
Some people say that he
made his living
makin' whiskey
in the Beth River [Ab]swamps
[D]Old man Wil[G]lis,
where do you get your [D]bread?
He used to [A]chase his young 'uns
and his [G]poor wife
With his [D]jimbo and a knife
We used to see him comin'
down the dirt road
In his forty -nine pocket
Mama would holler,
y 'all get under the house
With his drive like a maniac
[A]Old [G]Man[D] Willis[G],
where do y 'all come [D]from?
He used to [A]chase his youngins
and his [G]poor wife
With his [D]jimbo and knife
Old Man Wil[G]lis,
where do y [D]'all come from?
He finally [A]caught his young 'uns
and his [G]poor wife
With his [D]double -bladed hunting knife

[Outro 1]
