verse 1:

C                        G              C
Well they raised, that horse, to be a jumper
       F                           C
He was owned by a mid-west bible thumper
    F                        Am
His preacher was a Louisiana drummer
         G                            C
Took all winter;   to get through the summer

verse 2:

C              G                  C
The fieldhand, hit the switch and stumbled
     F                             C
Outside, the big engine roared and rumbled
    F                          Am
The sto-len horse spooked, and tumbled
             G                           C
She didn't speak, for a week, just kinda mumbled

verse 3:

       C               G            C
He was caught up, in a lie, he half believed
          F                          C
Found her hid-ing high in the family tree
           F                            Am
Washed his hands, and put her cross his knee
         G                                C
She said daddy;  "you been a mother to me"

Am                   Em    Am                   G
      ankle deep, in love,       ankle deep, in love
