I was visiting a friend in jail.

There were only two women 
       D
at the scene at the time
Em                         C
 Neither one of them saw a thing,
                  G             C/g  G
both of them were wearing veils

that he reached too high,

You got your eyes closed, baby, but I know that you ain't blind

Well, I can see you're smilin', but whoa your mouth is inside out
I can see you're smilin', but you're smilin' inside out
Well I know you're laughing, but what are you laughing about?

Well, if you're tryin' to throw me, babe I've already been tossed

Well, you ask me if I'll forget my baby
A              D
 I guess I will some day
A                      E                        A    E
 I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

You ask me if I'll get along

D                      A7
I am weak but Thou art strong
A7                     D
Jesus keep me from all wrong
D7                   G
I'll be satisfied as long
     D            A7            D
as I walk, let me walk close to Thee

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, if you please
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely home
to Thy kingdom's shores, to Thy shore

Sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes

Well, I'm sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes
      B7                                                 E
Ain't got so many matches, but I still got a long way to go

        E
Well, that's alright, mama

That's alright for you

That's alright mama, 
     E7
just anyway you do.
         A
That's alright,

         B7
That's alright mama, 
           E
anyway you do

Well, I'm leavin' town tomorrow
I'm leavin' town for sure
And then you won't be bothered
with me hanging 'round your door.
But that's alright, 
that's alright
That's alright mama, 
anyway you do

Well, my Uncle Mort

He's a hell of a sport.
   A                       E
He weighs only a gallon or two.
       E
But he thinks he's a giant
 
When you slip him a pint
                 B7       E
Of that good old mountain dew.

         E
Oh, they call it that good ol' mountain dew
    A                       E
And them that refuse it are few.
         E
Oh, I'll hush up my mug
 
If you'll fill up my jug
                   B7       E
With that good old mountain dew.

Down the road here from me
