When-ever I'm out a wandering,
C F
Chasing a rainbow dream,
C C/B Am Am/G
I often stop and think a-bout,
D7 G
A place I've never seen,
Am Em
Where friendly folks can gather,
Am G G7
And raise the rafters high,
C C/B Am Am/G
With songs and tales of yester year,
F G C
Un-til they say good-bye
(n.c.)
F C
Well.....there's a puppy in the parlor,
F C
And a skillet on the stove,
F C
And a smelly old blanket,
G C
That a Navajo wove,
F C
There's a chicken on the table,
F C
But you got to say grace,
F C
There's always something cooking at,
G C F G
Old Joe's Place
C F
Now folks come by round evening time,
C F
Soon as the sun goes down,
C C/B Am Am/G
Some drop in from right next door,
D7 G
And some from out of town...('Pick it!')

And the coffee's always hot,

But you got to say grace,

Old Joe's Place

Leave them by the door.

There's apple brandy by the keg,

And sawdust on the floor.
Am Em
So if you've got a hankering',

That flashes....Ea A Oh's
