C                       Dm
Well, the clouds didn't look like cotton
            G    F          C
They didn't even look like clouds
      C              Dm
I was underneath the weather
   G              F      C
My friends looked like a crowd

    C                 Am
The swimmin' hole was full of rum
  F                 C
I tried to find out why
C                 Dm
All I learned was this my friend
           G      F        C
You got to swim before you fly


      F   C
I got two girls
         Am                 Dm
One's in heaven and one's below
    Am                     Dm
Oh, one I love with all my heart
    F            C
And one I do not know.


    C                    Dm
Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horse
       G      F    C
Passed by not long ago
C                       Dm
They asked me where the action was
  G      F       C
I said I did not know

        C             Am
As they disappeared into the brush
  F                C
I heard the driver say
       C              Dm
He's a little slow between the ears
     G      F         C
He's always been that way.


      F   C
I got two girls
         Am                 Dm
One's in heaven and one's below
    Am                     Dm
Oh, one I love with all my heart
    F            C
And one I do not know.


C               Dm
Jolly Jane just lays around
    G       F        C
And listens with her mouth
C                       Dm
She's had about a dozen husbands
        G        F           C
But the last one just pulled out

     C                     Am
Now, who's gonna bring her dinner
            F           C
Through the weary years ahead
C                         Dm
All she'll get from me is sympathy
       G       F         C
Got no time to see she's fed.


      F   C
I got two girls
         Am                 Dm
One's in heaven and one's below
    Am                     Dm
Oh, one I love with all my heart
    F            C
And one I do not know.


         C                 Dm
Now it's cold down on the bayou
     G           F         C
They say it's in your mind
C                       Dm
But the moccasins are treadin' ice
    G       F         C
And leavin' strange designs

C              Am
Cajuns say the last time
          F                     C
That this happened they weren't here
    C                  Dm
All Beaumont's full of penguins
          G       F     C
And I'm a-playin' it by ear.


      F   C
I got two girls
         Am                 Dm
One's in heaven and one's below
    Am                     Dm
Oh, one I love with all my heart
    F            C
And one I do not know.
