Chord/Tab song: Raining in Port Arthur

Raining in Port Arthur

this after[G]noon I walked [D]out into a [G]ditch
the [C]crawfish stirred the [G]water
the [C]papermill blew in on the [G]Southeastern [C]wind
and it was [G]raining [D]in Port [G]Arthur
I pulled a dead limb from a fallen pine
the sun was dropping on the lower Neches valley
I called the dogs from out of the woods with a hollar
and it was raining in Port Arthur

that night my daddy drove us to maw maw's
He and mama wanted to be alone
I sat up in that mimosa tree with my brother
and it was raining in Port Arthur

the refinerys hum and glow from the road
and I listen to the dove as she mourns
I'm standing in the rice fields of Beaumont
and it was raining in Port Arthur
