Artist: Tom Russell
[F]
N.C.
Those oil field [F]girls all taste of [Gm]whisky
There thoughts are [Bb]free there cloths are [C]torn
They walk the [Am]strip like painted [Dm]shadows
Cursing the [Bb]night when man was [C]born
There's one name [Gm]Frida[C] and one named [F]Angel
There's a rose of [Gm]hatred[Bb] and ragtime [C]gal
All legs and [Am]heart bright lips in the [Dm]moonlight
Young man will [Bb]die at the turn of a [C]curl
I'm packing my [F]bag I'm shipping out on a [Gm]freighter
I'll lick my [Bb]wounds in a far off [C]world
One hand on my [Am]heart one hand on a [Dm]bottle
Just a drunker's [Bb]dream of the oil field [C]girls
Da da da [F]dum de de de de [Gm]de
de de de [Bb]do do do do [C]de
do do do [Am]do do do do do [Dm]do
do do de [Bb]do do do do de [C]dum
Here's a round for the [F]priest here's a round for the [Gm]begger
Here's a round for the [Bb]rouges all over this [C]world
But I'll drink me a [Am]case of old [Dm]peculiar
For I raise me a [Bb]glass to the oil field [C]girls
Those oil field [F]girls all taste of [Gm]whisky
There thoughts are [Bb]free there cloths are [C]torn
They walk the [Am]strip like painted [Dm]shadows
Cursing the [Bb]night when man was [C]born
De de de [F]de de do de de [Gm]de
de de de [Bb]de de de de [C]de
de do de [Am]de da do da da [Dm]dum
de de de [Bb]de da de de [C]de
de de de [F]de
