Dooley G

Dooley     Written by Mitch Jayne and Rodney Dillard (Men Only Women Only)

G              C              G              D7
Dooley was a good old man he lived below the mill
G                 C            G    D7      G
Dooley had two daughters and a 40 gallon still
G                   C          G                  D7
One gal watched the boiler the other watched the spout
G                 C               G        D7         G
Momma corked the bottles and old Dooley fetched them out

    G                                C                       
   Dooley slipping up the holler - Dooley trying to make a dollar
    G                                    D7        G
   Dooley gimmee a swaller and I'll pay you back someday

G              C             G                    D7
The revenuers came for him a-slipping through the woods
G            C                  G      D7        G
Dooley kept behind them all and never lost his goods
G              C          G            D7
Dooley was a trader when into town he come
G                        C         G              D7         
He’d buy sugar by the bushel and molasses by the drum

(CHORUS)

G            C            G              D7
I remember very well the day old Dooley died
G                    C             G        D7          G
The women folk felt sorry and the men stood round and cried
G                    C           G              D7
Now Dooley's on the mountain he lies there all alone
G               C               G      D7      G
They put a jug beside him and a barrel for a stone
