[Verse 1]
C#m E
Gone are the days when the ox fall down
B A
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around
C#m E
Gone are the days when the ladies said "Please
A E
Gentle Jack Jones, won't you come to me"
[Chorus]
B
Browneyed women and red grenadine
A
The bottle was dusty,
E B
but the liquor was clean
A E C#m
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
F#m A E
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
[Verse 2]
C#m E
Nineteen twenty when he stepped to the bar
B A
Drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar
C#m E
Nineteen thirty when the wall caved in
A E
He made his way selling redeyed gin
[Chorus]
B
Browneyed women and red grenadine
A
The bottle was dusty,
E B
but the liquor was clean
A E C#m
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
F#m A E
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on

[Verse 3]
C#m E
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins
B A
Two times over, and the rest were sins
C#m E
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad
A E
Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had
[Chorus]
B
Browneyed women and red grenadine
A
The bottle was dusty,
E B
but the liquor was clean
A E C#m
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
F#m A E
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
[Interlude]
Bm A E
Tumble down shack on Big Foot county
Bm A E
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in
C#m B A G#m
Delilah Jones went to meet her God
A E
And the old man never was the same again
[Verse 4]
C#m E
Daddy made whiskey and he made it well
B A
Cost two dollars and it burned like hell
C#m E
I cut hick'ry just to fire the still
A E
Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill
[Chorus]
