guitar chords lyrics
Look-a look-a yonder
Look-a look-a yonder
Look-a look-a yonder
Well the sun done gone
The captain can't hold her
The captain can't hold her
The captain can't hold her
The way I do now
Ada got a gold mine
Ada got a gold mine
Ada got a gold mine
Way above her knees
The shiv is golden
The shiv is golden
The shiv is golden
The shiv is golden
The shiv is golden
The shiv is golden
Above her knees
Look-a look-a yonder
Look-a look-a yonder
Look-a look-a yonder
Well the sun done gone

That Monday, I was arrested
Tuesday, I locked up in jail
Wednesday baby, my trial's tested
On Thursday, nobody could blow my bail
Yes, I'm almost done
Yes, I'm almost done
Yes, I'm almost done
And I ain't gonna yell against no bells
On Monday, baby I went a-walking
Tuesday, I ... asked to go
On Wednesday I sat down a-talking
On Thursday she hock all a my clothes
Yes, I'm almost done
Yes, I'm almost done
Yes, I'm almost done
And I ain't gonna ... no more
