Chris Smither - Old Kentucky Home (Turpentine and Dandelion Wine) lyrics



(C) Turpentine, (F) dandelion wine,
(C) Turn the corner I’m (G) doing fine.
(C) Shooting at the birds on the (F) telephone line,
(C) Picking them off with this (G) gun of (C) mine.
Got a fire in my belly got a (F) fire in my head,
Singing (C) “ki-yi” un(G)til I’m (C) dead.

(C) Now sister sue she’s (F) short and stout,
She (C) didn’t grow up she grew (G) out.
(C) Momma says she’s pretty but she’s (F) just being kind,
(C) Pappa says she’s pretty but (G) he’s half (C) blind.
They don’t let her out much (F)‘cept at night,
But (C) that’s OK, ‘cuz (G) I’m al(C)right.

Chorus:
(C) Oh the sun shines bright on My (F) Old Kentucky (C) Home,
Young folks rolling on the (G) floor.
Oh the (C) sun shines bright on My (F) Old Kentucky (C) Home,
Keep them hard (G ) times away from my (C) door.

Brother Eljean is kind of mean,
He don’t have much to say.
He had a little woman he ‘whuped each night,
And now she’s run away.
He got drunk last night, and pushed Mama down the stairs,
But that’s OK ‘cuz I don’t care.

Chorus

Repeat 1st verse.
