VERSE 1:
He'd always whistle "Jolie Blonde"
FAmaj7 DOOn his way out the back door on a Friday night
DO REmSo many times he just stayed gone
And rarely did he try to treat your Mama right
LAm MImShut off the tractor with the field half mowed
FA/DO DOSet the brake and headed down the road
Came home for Christmas, never said where he'd been
FA/DOWith no presents for the children
LAmOnly stories for the men
CHORUS 1
Am G(see riff at end)
Still your Mama called him Daddy
DO DO/SIShe never told him no
Said she couldn't help but love him
FA/DO LAmYou wondered how it could be so
VERSE 2:
He'd work two weeks out on a river barge
She worked in the factory, never missed a day
He'd spend his week off holding up the bar
Never took him long to drink a deck hand's pay
Wind off the river cut the lines on his face
And left him dreaming of some other place
Maybe Memphis town or Baton Rouge
When it's cold in Cape Girardeau
There's nothing much to do
CHORUS 2 (same as before)
SOLO:
LAm SOL FA/DO LAmLAm SOL FA/DO LAm
VERSE 3:
And if his suitcase wasn't standing in the hall
FA/DO DOHe might not be coming home at all
LAm MImAll the sides of him you never knew before
Would be drifting down the river
LAmTo another back door
CHORUS 3: (chords as before)
Still your Mama called him Daddy
She couldn't tell him no
Said she couldn't help but love a man like that
You wondered how it could be so
