The World And The Suck

A
It took a mighty good man with salty
 hands
         E
And a mighty long raft to keep the 
fore before the aft
                           A
You take ten good men and guts and 
luck
          E                  A
And you might navigate the whirl and
 the suck

              A                  
Well, the Tennessee River changed 
                                E
its mind At Chattanooga she oughta 
unwind
      A
She could a run right on the Georgia
 Sea
But she cut right back through 
   E
Tennessee
       A
Well, the settlers come by raft
And boat bringin' everything that 
        E
could stay a float
Continues after the ad
      A
But like a loco horse that'll twist 
and buck
They hardly ever made it through the
   E            A
 whirl and the suck

General Washington was in his 
knicker bocks
The Cherokee Indians through the 
     E
Chattanooga Rocks
             A
And the Chickamagua tribe and the 
Nickajack
                                E  
They kept the watch where the river
       A
 cut back
                               A
And if a raft or a boat ever rode 
the bend
                                E  
The Indians got 'em cause they had 
            A
'em hemmed in
