Alice shot a possum out of her persimmon tree
         G                                  F                 C
And she left it in the orchard for all its possum friends to see
F                           C
Crack shot with a 22 when she was ninety-three
          G                                              G
She was only five feet tall but she was twice as wise as me

♫ Chorus:
     F                       C
Oh, Alice, I wish I knew you better

You're as pretty as a flower
C                   C7
Tough as saddle leather
C          F                                         C
I learned more from you that day than all life's teachers put together

Oh, Alice

Dear friend of mine

Oh, Alice had a pickup truck and one day we were talkin'
           G                                C
Said that she was all done driving, she was better off a-walkin'
         F                               C
Said "I sent my driver's license to the local DMV
         G                                                   G
But the dang fools must be crazy 'cause they sent it back to me
