MI
Summer is coming, catfish are jumping
RE LA
The willows are weeping up the river
MI
Mandaddy's wagon comes rattling and dragging
LA SI
His magical route
MI
He's bringing ghost stories and bright penny whistles
RE LA
White Chinese muzzles in tins of glory
MI RE LA MI
Look on the horizon and see the dust rolling down the road
Chorus
SI LA MI
My name is Mandaddy and I roam these hills
SI LA MI
I sing and I whistle and I'll cure your ills
LA DO#m FA#
Oh Mandaddy, Oh Mandaddy's gonna cure your ills
SI MI
Mandaddy's gonna cure your ills
MI
He walks like a farmer, talks like warm water
RE LA
Smells like tobacco and gun powder
MI
He's bringing red garters and bright copper kettles
LA SI
and brown leather shoes
MI
He says, "I remember when your folks was young'uns
RE LA
Laughing and running in Indian summer
MI RE LA MI
They'd watch the horizon and see the dust rolling down the road!"
Chorus
MI
Everything changes, it's only natural
RE LA
Nothing remains as it once started
MI
This time next summer I may not be here, hear what I say
MI
Children I love you, you make life worth living
MI LA
The rivers worth crossing the gifts worth giving
MI RE LA MI
Look on the horizon and see the dust rolling down the road
Chorus
