Lucas Was A Redneck

Gm


[Verse 1]
 Gm
Lucas was a redneck through and 
through
 Gm
Drinkin and fightin was all the boy 
knew
 Gm
Born with a corncob in his mouth
 Gm
In Tupelo, Mississippi way down 
south


[Chorus]
      C7
His daddy died drunk with a belly 
full of rum
      D7
His momma died waitin for a miracle 
to come
N.C.
People said
N.C.                      Gm
The boy's born to be a bum


[Verse 2]
Gm
Hangin around with the rest of the 
riff raff
Gm
Down at the pool hall on Main Street
Gm
Wearin a red bandanna and a sweaty 
ol' straw hat

[Chorus]
C7
One half stupid and the other half 
dumb
D7
Born to live and die in a 
sharecropper's slum
N.C.
People said
N.C.                      Gm
The boy's born to be a bum


[Bridge]
     C
Now who's gonna cry when you die, 
Lucas?
Who's gonna miss you when you're 
     Dm
gone?
        C
Will it be the black man you called 
a n****r
      C
The hippie that you beat up just 
'cause you were bigger
           C
Will the riff raff laugh
                                 Dm
At the epitaph on your tombstone
 Dm
Betcha it says
N.C.
Here lies Lucas, born to be a bum
N.C.                                
         Gm
Died like his daddy with a belly 
full of rum


[Bridge]
     C
Now who's gonna cry when you die, 
Lucas?
Who's gonna miss you when you're 
     Dm
gone?
        C
Will it be the black man you called 
a n****r
      C
The hippie that you beat up just 
'cause you were bigger
           C
Will the riff raff laugh
                                 Dm
At the epitaph on your tombstone
 Dm
Betcha it says

Here lies Lucas, born to be a bum
N.C.

Died like his daddy with a belly
