Jack Williams took to drinking and givin' me black eyes

Around that time I reckoned Jack wasn't quite my type
   Chord diagramDmDm
I could've called the law

      N.C.
And I tied him up instеad

And Jack was never found
            Chord diagramDmDm                                  Chord diagramA minorAm
I guess the Bradley County Sheriff didn't miss havin' him around
      Chord diagramDmDm

With a big smile on my face
        Chord diagramE MajorE
And I throw some yellow roses on Jack Williams' grave

And a body at the bottom of the Ouachita River
