just like his grandchildren could do
C G Am
There was square hay on the meadow
C G Am
second cutting of the year
F C
well his summer work was over
G Am
when they got the pasture clear
C G Am
they were drinking on the big bluff
C G Am
cross the river from the field
F C
well he walked up the edge
G Am
threw a stone and he kneeled
C G Am
And he looked down at the water
C G Am
said boys im going in
F C
they were cheering when he jumped
G Am
but he did not come up again
chorus:
F C
Well raise another round boys
G Am
and have another glass
F C
be thankful for today
G Am
knowing it will never last
F C
and lets leave the world laughing
G Am
when our eulogies are read
F C
may we all get to heaven
G Am
before the devil knows were dead
F C
may we all get to heaven
G Am
before the devil knows were dead.
