INTRO: [A]
#1.
[A]In eighteen-eighty down a dusty road, a[D]long came a
miner with a big fat load.[E] [A]
[A]He was caked in dirt from his head to his foot, his
[D]hair so black, that it looked like soot.[E] [A]
#2.
[A]Well, he reined in his mule and hitched him to the rail,
and he [D]said, Old fella it's the end of the trail.[E] [A]
[A]Well, he ambled on down to the old saloon, he said, [D]I

know it's early and it ain't quite noon.
But, [E]hey, hey, everybody drink on [A]me.
[CHORUS]
[A]Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me.

[A]Well, I just got a letter from down in Tennessee..
it [D]said my Uncle died and left an oil-well to me.
[E]Hey, hey, everybody drink on [A]me.
[A]I've been diggin' all my life and I nearly got to hell..
but my [D]Uncle dug potatoes and he struck an oil-well.
