Verse 1:
E       C     G       D
Lily pulled a horseshoe from a pile of junk
     Am        G
Said "I'm going to keep this good luck
     D    D/F# A
Piece of iron inside my truck"
  E          C
The boy just whispered "OK"
  G           D
And grabbed his old black dog
   Am       G
As we piled on in and cut out through
   D   D/F#  A
That late November fog
E        C   G       D
Dull as a plough share rusting in the yard
  Am         G
Old Cotton grinned and waved goodbye
     D     D/F#    A
While the auctioneers all played cards
  E      C
On every other Sunday
     G         D
I'd walk down to Moe's and back
   Am          G
Eat a t-bone steak, watch a picture show
   D   D/F# A
For a dollar and a half

Chorus:
F           C       G
Come on little sister get up off my knee
     F        C
Going to settle down someday
         G C/G G7
In a town called Jubi lee
Bb
Come on brother Jake
F/A     Fm/Ab    C/G
Break on out and a break free
     F          D7/F#
Going to set things right and set up a house
   C/G     Eb/G Bb/G F/C C
In a town called Ju  bi  lee

Verse 2:
   E         C
That fog came out of nowhere
   G       D
Short of what I can tell
    Am         G
Hand to hand we passed that bucket
    D  D/F#   A
Up and down from the well
E      C
"Gone to California"
    G          D
Used to be what folks would say
   Am          G
Down around these parts if it was me
     D     D/F#    A
I'd have hoped that west bound stage


Chorus:
F           C       G
Come on little sister get up off my knee
     F        C
Going to settle down someday
         G C/G G7
In a town called Jubi lee
Bb
Come on brother Jake
F/A     Fm/Ab    C/G
Break on out and a break free
     F          D7/F#
Going to set things right and set up a house
   C/G     Eb/G Bb/G F/C C
In a town called Ju  bi  lee


Verse 3:
F        G
One less hallelujah
 C/E       F
A little less sympathy
F         G
Lily and Jake, the old black dog
 C/E       F    D/F#
A pinewood box, a rocking horse
  C/G C/G Eb/G Bb/G F/C C
All gone to Ju  bi  lee
