When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
G D C D C D
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
Em D
Then daddy came in to kiss his little man
Em D
With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand
C D
He talked about honor and things I should know
C D
Then he'd stagger a little as he went out the door
