Three-Legged Man
Ray Stevens
D
(início)
D G Well, now my friends you'd never guess it | so I really must confess it D A I just met the sweetest woman | in my long dismal life. D G But a friend of mine said "Buddy just in case your mind is muddy D A D Don't you know that girl you're fooling with is old Peg-Leg Johnson's wife. A D And old Peg-Leg is big and mean and tough and grim E A7 And he'll brain you with his artificial limb!"
Verse 2
D G But next morning bright and early I stole old Peg-Lg's girlie D A And I also took his wooden leg just to play it safe D G But there weren't no time for laughter 'cause he started hopping after D A D Now I keep on running faster but he won't give up the chase. A D So now I'm running across the country with his bride E A And I got his wooden leg right by my side.
Chorus
D G Now I'm a three-legged man with a two-legged woman D A Being chased by a one-legged fool D G Oh he's hoppin' and he's floppin' but he shows no sign of stoppin' D A D I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel.
Verse 3
D G Cross the deserts and the valleys and those dark Chicago alleys D A Cross that mighty Mississippi to the hills of Caroline D G Cross the mountains of Montana to the swamps of Louisiana D A D Every time that I look back he's just one leg behind A D And I know he must be cold and wet and sick E A But in spite of all his woes he still can kick!
Chorus
D G Oh, I'm a three-legged man with a two-legged woman D A Being chased by a one-legged fool D G Oh he's hoppin' and he's floppin' but he shows no sign of stoppin' D A D I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel.
Verse 4
D G Now he's ragged and he's filthy and I'm feeling kinda guilty D A Specially in the evenings when I hear him plead and beg D G He says in spite of all your stealing friend I bear you no hard feelings D A D “You can keep the blamed old woman, just give me back my leg! A D 'Cause although that leg you meant to take was wooden E A In the dark by mistake you took my good 'un!”
Chorus
D G Now I'm a three-legged man with a two-legged woman D A Being chased by a one-legged fool D G Oh he's hoppin' and he's floppin' but he shows no sign of stoppin' D A D I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel.
Outro
D G Yes, I'm a three-legged man with a two-legged woman D A Being chased by a one-legged fool D G Oh he's hoppin' and he's floppin' but he shows no sign of stoppin' D A D I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel.
