[VERSE 1]
[E]Pick a lotta cotton [A7]drag a long sack
[B7]Comin' cross the field well I [E]see Boss Jack
[E]He's a-ridin' straddle of a [A7]single foot roan
When you [B7]know that horse you'll [E]leave him alo[E7]ne
That [E7]old roan's got [A7]green in his eyes
[B7]Mean as the devil and [E]twice as [E7]wise
[E7]Fire in his nose and a [A7]bow in his back
Can't [B7]nobody ride him but [E]Boss Jack

[VERSE 2]
[E]Now here a while [E7]back when the [A7]crop was laid by
[B7]Remember who took us on a [E]big fish fry
Caught a [E7]heap of catfish, [A7]goggle-eye, and carp
Dan[B7]ced and sung to the [E]guitar and harp
[E]Well someday [E7]ol' Boss Jack's g[A7]onna set us all free
[B7]Gabriel's gonna blow for [E]you and me
[E7]Angel's gonna bring that [A7]chariot from above
[B7]Flappin' their wings like a [E]turtledove
