VERSE 1:
DO REmHe'd always whistle "Jolie Blonde"
FAmaj7 DOOn his way out the back door on a Friday night
So many times he just stayed gone
FAmaj7 DO DO/SIAnd rarely did he try to treat your Mama right
LAm MImShut off the tractor with the field half mowed
Set the brake and headed down the road
LAm MImCame home for Christmas, never said where he'd been
FA/DOWith no presents for the children
Only stories for the men
Am G(see riff at end)
Still your Mama called him Daddy
She never told him no
LAm SOLSaid 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:
VERSE 3:
LAm MImAnd if his suitcase wasn't standing in the hall
FA/DO DOHe might not be coming home at all
All the sides of him you never knew before
FA/DOWould 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
