Am Em
Don't you remember that rocky mountainside
Am
Where we set down to rest
Em
You promised to be my blue-eyed boy
Am
While the sun goin' down in the west
Chorus:
Am Em
Oh, hand me down my old white hat
Am
It's hanging there on a nail
Em
Before this time tomorrow night
Am
I'll be out on that long, long trail
[instrumental]
Am Em Am Em Am
Verse 2:
Am Em
I wish to the lord I'd never been born,
Am
Or died when I was young
Em
Never would have seen them pretty blue eyes
Am
Or heard that lying tongue
Chorus:
Am Em
Oh, hand me down my old white hat
Am
It's hanging there on a nail
Em
Before this time tomorrow night
Am
I'll be out on that long, long trail

Verse 3:
Am Em
No, I never will believe what another man says
Am
Though his eyes be blue or brown
Em
Unless'n he's up on a scaffold to be hung
Am
Saying darlin I wish to come down
Chorus:
Am Em
Oh, hand me down my old white hat
Am
It's hanging there on a nail
Em
Before this time tomorrow night
Am
I'll be out on that long, long trail

Verse 4:
Am Em
Mary, don't go, don't go, little girl
Am
Come back and see me once again
Em
15 cents all the money I've got
Am
Honey, don't you want some change?
N.C.
All I want is a 44 gun,
To blow out that young man's brains
[Instrumental]
Am Em Am Em Am
