David Allan Coe - The Punkin Center Barn Dance
Capo 1
F
He came from Kentucky
Bb
Least ways that's what I've been told
C
Me and fate had left that state
F
Before his corpse got cold
He'd been killed for gold
Bb
When California could be sold
C
To any fool who had been told
F
About the Punkin Center Barn Dance.
F
Mama had the fever
Bb
And my Daddy sold his soul
C
To someone called the devil
F
That he'd met along life's road
Dad would stop to drink a toast
Bb
And Mom was looking like a ghost
C
Was gonna beat us to the coast
F
And the Punkin Center Barn Dance.
Chorus:
Bb
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance
F
That's where everyone would be
Bb
Dancing to Virginia's Reel
G C
And the Waltz of Tennessee
F
When the roll is called up yonder
Bb F
You can hear the angels sing
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance
C F
God is gold, the grass is green.
F
Yeah, I left California
Bb
Just before the Grateful Dead
C
Told the truth about the gold
F
I'd searched for in my head
Like my Dad I'd roamed the land
Bb
And Mom could never understand
C
How Lucifer could bring a man
F
To the Punkin Center Barn Dance.
F
Well, times are changin', poets say
Bb C
Since Mom and Dad both passed away
But some things in this life
F
Will never change
The poets write of things to come
Bb
The Earth will melt into the Sun
C
And you and I will be the ones
F
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance.
Chorus: X2
