G C
I’ve done some ramblin’ down in Mississippi
G D
I’ve done some time in Tennessee
G C
I served my sentence in a Fender twin amplifier
G D G
Honey, don’t you lay that shit on me.
G
(chorus) Honey, don’t you lay that shit on,
C
Honey, don’t you lay that shit on,
G D
Honey, don’t you lay that shit on me.
G C
I paid my dues to the musicians union,
G D G
Honey, don’t you lay that shit on Slim.
I’ve been a roadie for Satan honey
I was a soundman for the Devil, you see
Now I’m a guitar with the heart of a banjo
Honey, don’t you lay that shit on me.
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)…
(repeat first verse)
Eat your heart out, Bill Monroe!
