You get a Amshiver in the dark, it’s Graining in the Fpark but Emeantime

AmSouth of the river you sGtop and you hFold everythEing

CA band is blowing Dixie double fGour time

FYou feel alright when you hear that music rAming

AmF→ G

Well now, you Amstep inside but you Gdon’t see Ftoo many fEaces

AmComing in out of the Grain to hear the Fjazz go Edown

CCompetition in other pGlaces

FOh, but the horns they blowin’ that Amsound
