1. I was born in Arkansas, me mammy was a squaw,
A E
pappy hailed from Timbuktu,
A D
thereís one thing I recall that I hated most of all,
A E A
was that little green shed, our loo .
D A
It had a Cedar shingle roof, I swear that was the truth,
E
hinges all rusting and corroding,
A D
ëtwas a ghastly shade of green, the worst youíve ever seen,
A E A
it stood there at the bottom of the garden.
A D
2. Well, one day when I was six, I was chopping at some sticks,
A E
when a nasty little gleam came to my eye,
A D
I ran down to the john and shoved it off the lawn
A E A
into the river flowing gently by.
A D
3. Soon my Pappy called my name, he yelled "Hey, what's ya game ?"
A E
Why did you shove our privy in the drink ?
A D
Well, then I shook with fear and shed a little tear,
A E A
I said, it wasnít me, I didnít think.
+ CHORUS
A D
4. Then my Pappy told to me, how George Washington felled the tree,
A E
then he went and owned up straight away.
