[Verse 1]
G               G7
Hardluck pa I'm comin' down the lane
C                    C
Mama give me back my walkin' cane
G                       G             D
 Lawd! Lawd! I got them Brown's Ferry Blues;
        G                      G7
Well he throwed it away and he went to town
    C
To see that woman but now he's down
G                      D             G
Lawd! Lawd! I got them Brown's Ferry Blues.

Hardluck pa be gettin' too tight
C                                   C
If he don't quit drinkin', he'll be high as a kite

 Lawd! Lawd! I got them Brown's Ferry Blues;

He can drink a block and tackle kind

Lawd! Lawd! I got them Brown's Ferry Blues.

Well I walked up to my girl's old man
    C                  C
And I asked him for my true love's hand
G                       G              D
 Lawd! Lawd! I got them Brown's Ferry Blues;
        G           G7
He said, "You la la little GALOOT!"
    C
Instead of her hand, I got his foot
G                      D             G
Lawd! Lawd! I got them Brown's Ferry Blues.

An' he took my sweetheart with him too
