Gone are the days when the ox fall down

You take up the yoke and plow the fields around

Gone are the days when the ladies said “Please,

Gentle Jack Jones won’t you come to me?”

Brown-eyed women and red grenadine

The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
A E C#m
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin’ down
F#m A E
And it looks like the old man is gettin’ on
1920 when he stepped to the bar
Drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar
1930 when the wall caved in
He paid his way selling red-eyed gin
[Chorus]
*[Solo/Jam]
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins
Two times over and the rest were sins
Raised 8 boys, only turned bad
Didn’t get the lickins that the other ones had
[Chorus]
[Bridge]

Tumble Down Shack in Big Foot county, snowed so hard that the roof caved in
C#m B A G#m A E
Delilah Jones went to meet her God, and the old man never was the same again
Daddy made whisky and he made it well
Cost two dollars and it burned like hell
I cut hick’ry just to fire the still
Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill
[Chorus]
(Repeat of verse 1)
Gone are the days when the ox fall down
You take up the yoke and plow the fields around
Gone are the days when the ladies said “Please,
Gentle Jack Jones won’t you come to me?”
