[Verse 1]
E
This old man, he played one
E
Lost his money on the buffalo run
         B
Now he's lyin' in jail with a head full of knives
     N.C.
This old man is too drunk to drive


[Verse 2]
E
This old man gave a dog a bone
E
And there's a beehive head on the telephone
        B
I see a big bus comin' full of maritime wives
     N.C.
This old man is too drunk to drive


[Chorus]
A
This old man
A
This old man
A
This old man
     E N.C.   E
I say  ooooh


[Verse 3]
E
This old man is made of earth and bone
E
Just a ten-watt bulb in a trailer home
          B
Keep your big mouth shut, I said your fat momma lies
     N.C.
This old man is too drunk to drive


[Chorus]
A
This old man
A
This old man
A
This old man
     E N.C.   E
I say  ooooh


[Interlude]
E


[Verse 4]
E
This old man shuffled off to war
E
He gave a diamond bullet to a Paris whore
             B
And now this Hamilton life never looked so alive
      E  N.C.
This old man is too drunk to drive
