     G              C
Hey down in Greasy Bend
                A            D
They're picking up a storm again
      G                C           D   G
The bridge across the Washita is swayin'
        G               C
You can hear it on the wind

Verse:

     D                          G
Now every hobo comin' up that holler
        D                           G
He'll leave a certain mark upon her gate
         D                                  G
It was a sign to all the others who might foller
        C
Sayin' stop a while and visit boys
        C

     C                                                    D

You can hear it on the wind
          A           D

Verse:

     D                              G
Now yonder comes a peddler with his wagon
   D                                  G
I bought some pans and lots of shiny things
        D                                    G
and he promised young darwettia he would have 'em
       C
not no box of candy kisses, no not no dolly dishes
     C                                                    D
see her one and only wish was for some brand new mando strings


Chorus:

     G              C
Hey down in Greasy Bend
                A            D
They're picking up a storm again
      G                C           D   G
The bridge across the Washita is swayin'
        G               C
You can hear it on the wind
          A           D
Yeah the music never ends
    G             C               D   G
