Way down in Louisiana, where the 
Cadd9
moss and cyprus grew,
      G
You'd find old Jack in a shotgun 
shack
       G7                  D
In the back of the black bayou.
Some folks called him crazy, but I
Cadd9
 knew better than that,
          G
He kept a hundred dollar bill tucked
 away in the brim
       G7               D
Of his dirty old cowboy hat.

Jack told me a story when I was ten 
years old,
              G
He said there once was a fool tried 
to swim this swamp
         G7

He said there's only one way into 
this world,

G                              A

There's people living in a high 
rise,
        D                  G7
That'll never hear a robin sing.

Little Maggie May was dyin', her 
Cadd9
heart was about to go,
         G
When her daddy found a sack on the 
porch out back
     G7                        D
With half a million dollars in gold.

    Cadd9
who saved her life that spring,
