Tony Joe White - Clovis Green

Em

C D Em
Clovis Green was a wealthy man
C D Em
He made his living raising sugar cane
C D Em
He had spent his life working the land
D Em
Just outside the town of New Orleans

C D Em
His daughter Angelie was an only child
C D Em
She was a lovely girl of seventeen
C D Em
You would never find her out running wild
D Em
She was a debutante in New Orleans
G F
Sent her off to the finest school
C Em
So very young never paid no dues
G F
Her momma said \"honey you can't lose
C Em
We've got your life planned out for you\"

But they reveived a letter in the spring
And she wrote \"I know ya'll think I'm crazy
But I'm coming home I've broken all your dreams
Cause you see, I'm going to have a baby\"

And his wife looked at him and said
\"Clovis, can you tell me true
What in the world are we gonna do
We've given her everything we can
Lord sometimes I just don't understand\"

A child was born in the fall
But nobody ever mentioned the father
But when all the neighbors came to call
They would say he looked just like his mother.
