INTRO: [G]
Well I [G]know that I shouldn't have [Em]done it
I [C]know that it [D]just wasn't [G]right
'Cause [G]they got me backed up to the [G/F#]Cotton Mouth [Em]River
And I [C]can't cross [D]late at [G]night
[CHORUS]
Yeah there's [D]lots of stories told about the [G]Cotton Mouth River
[C]They tell them time and a[D]gain
About the [G]men who tried to cross that [G/F#]river by [Em]moonlight
And [C]never were [D]heard from a[G]gain
[G]If I had my life to live [Em]over
[C]I'd a gone to [D]work that [G]day
Instead of [G]going into town and [G/F#]shooting him[Em] down
For a [C]thing I never [D]heard him [G]say
[CHORUS]
Well I [G]just made it through the [Em]cane break
And I [C]got one [D]foot in the [G]mud
I can[G] hear the hounds a baying but the [G/F#]snake around my [Em]ankle's
Telling [C]me my running [D]days are [G]done
CHORUS (2x)
Well I [G]know that I shouldn't have [Em]done it
I [C]know that it [D]just wasn't [G]right
'Cause [G]they got me backed up to the [G/F#]Cotton Mouth [Em]River
And I [C]can't cross [D]late at [G]night
