    VERSE 1:
    C Dm
  • He'd always whistle "Jolie Blonde"
    Fmaj7 C
    On his way out the back door on a Friday night
  • C Dm
    So many times he just stayed gone
    Fmaj7 C C/B
  • And rarely did he try to treat your Mama right
    Am Em
    Shut off the tractor with the field half mowed
  • F/C C
    Set the brake and headed down the road
    Am Em
  • Came home for Christmas, never said where he'd been
    F/C
    With no presents for the children
  • Am
    Only stories for the men
     
  • CHORUS 1:
    Am G(see riff at end)
    Still your Mama called him Daddy
  • C C/B
    She never told him no
    Am G
  • Said she couldn't help but love him
    F/C Am
    You wondered how it could be so
  •  
    VERSE 2:
    He'd work two weeks out on a river barge
  • She worked in the factory, never missed a day
    He'd spend his week off holding up the bar
    Never took him long to drink a deck hand's pay
  • Wind off the river cut the lines on his face
    And left him dreaming of some other place
    Maybe Memphis town or Baton Rouge
  • When it's cold in Cape Girardeau
    There's nothing much to do
     
  • CHORUS 2 (same as before)
     
    SOLO:
  • Am G F/C Am
    Am G F/C Am
    Am G F/C Am
  •  
    VERSE 3:
    Am Em
  • And if his suitcase wasn't standing in the hall
    F/C C
    He might not be coming home at all
  • Am Em
    All the sides of him you never knew before
    F/C
  • Would be drifting down the river
    Am
    To another back door
  •  
    CHORUS 3: (chords as before)
    Still your Mama called him Daddy
  • She couldn't tell him no
    Said she couldn't help but love a man like that
    You wondered how it could be so
  •  
    OUTRO:
    Am C/B C
