Verse 1:
G
Rollin’ down-a backwoods
D
Tennessee by way
Em C
One arm on the wheel
G
Holdin’ my lover
D
With the other
Em C
A sweet, soft Southern thrill
Em
Worked hard all week
D
Got a little jingle
Em C
On a Tennessee Saturday night
G
Couldn’t feel better
D Cm G
I’m together with my Dixieland Delight
Chorus:
D
Spend my dollar
Em C
Park in a holler ‘neath the mountain moonlight
G
Hold her up tight
D
Make a little lovin’
Em C
A little turtledovin’ on a mason-Dixon night
Em
Fits my life
C
Oh, so right
Cm G
My Dixieland Delight
A simplified version of the solo after 1st chorus:

Verse 2: (same chords as the first)
White-tail buck deer
Munchin’ on clover
Red-tail hawk
Sittin’ on a limb
Chubby old groundhog
Croakin’ bullfrog
Free as a feelin’ in the wind
Homegrown country girl
Gonna give me a whirl
on a Tennessee Saturday night
Lucky as a seven
Livin’ in heaven
with my Dixieland Delight
(repeat chorus)
a few strange chord progressions follow the 2nd chorus;
something like C D Em a couple of times,
and I believe the key changes to A
verse one again.
