Rue Of Ruby Whores

C              F            Dm
I woke up on a summer's day
F                        C
From dozin' on a bank of clay
C            E7    Am
The hot and humid fog
C             G      Am G Am
The splashin' of the water dog
Dm        Em  C
Lo come a war canoe
F                            C
And standing in the bow were you

[Verse 2]
C                     F           
Tell me friend if you got the time
 Dm

F                                 
Where in this woods does grow the 
        C
healin' vine
C          E7               Am
And I was searchin' for my love
C             G          Am   G  Am
Who used to live in the hills above
Dm           Em      C
And I don't live at all

F                           C
No never since my last downfall

[Mouth Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 3]
C                    F         Dm
Over yonder in the briar patch
F                             C
The animal lives there in a hole
C          E7              Am
And ne'er in the sun will stir
C             G      Am  G   Am
But come the fall of evenin' grey
Dm         Em     C
Leaps and jumps away
F         C

[Verse 4]
C                F            Dm
Standin' on the mountain side
F                                 
Just tryin' to get a little taste 
     C
o' rain
C           E7          Am
My people used to live here
C               G   Am  G   Am
And I feel the same as they do
Dm          Em        C
For I did dwell here too
F         C

[Verse 5]
C                 F         Dm
There she be and she see me
F                          C
A-driftin' in my daggone dream
C               E7            Am
They throwed my windows and doors
C       G    Am G Am
A century of misery
Dm          Em     C
The Rue of Ruby whores
F         C
