Old Man And The River

C
There's an old man who lives by the 
river
                             G7    
In an old log cabin with the cracks
        C
 in the wall

Makes his livin' by the catchin' of 
the fish
                                G7 
If he don't catch many well he 
           C
can't fix the wall


F         F
Oo-ee the whistle of the wind
                              G7 
Nail up the boards where the wind 
      C
goes in
F      C
Oo-ee can't go to sleep,
Wade across the river where the 
 G7           C
waters ain't deep

Old man prayed the big fish are 
bitin'
                            G7     
The time of the year it's  late in 
     C
the fall

Winter's 'commin' the winds gonna 
whistle
                            G7     
Snow gonna blow through the cracks 
       C
in the wall


F         C
Oo-ee the whistle of the wind
                             G7  
Nail up the boards where the wind 
      C
goes in
F      C
Oo-ee can't go to sleep,
Wade across the river where the 
G7           C
water ain't deep



The old man Courted a pretty youg 
maiden

A maiden that he loved most of all

She ran away with a cool river 
gambler

Cool river gambler, seven feet tall


         Repeat Chorus
