They Gotta Quit Kickin

D


[Chorus]
D                  A
Every time I go to town
                                D
The boys keep a-kickin' my dog around
                                A
Makes no difference if'n he's a hound
                                 D
They gotta quit kickin' my dog around


[Interlude]
D   A   D   A   D


[Verse 1]
                               A
Me and Lem Briggs and ol' Bill Brown
                         D
Took us a little walk to town
                              A
My old Jim dog, an orn'ry old cuss
                           D
He just naturally follered us


[Verse 2]
                            A
As we went by Joe Johnson's store
                              D
A passel of yaps come out the door
                                       A
Yellin' and a-screamin' and a-throwin' rocks
                            D
They run my Jim dog under a box


[Verse 3]
                                 A
Well Jim seed his duty there and then
                       D
He lit into them gentlemen
                                  A
He sure messed up that courthouse square
                                                D
With the rags and the meat and the hide and the hair


[Chorus]
D                  A
Every time I go to town
                                D
The boys keep a-kickin' my dog around
                                A
Makes no difference if'n he's a hound
                                D
They gotta quit kickin' my dog around
