Long Hot Summer Day
Album Mark Twain
December 3, 2008
Banjo tuned E, Key of D, No Capo(All verses same progression)
Long Hot Summer Day
Gonna [D]pick up some of them empties here
Just as soon as we know where they [G]lay
Tied off of them jolly and leaving [D]minds
On a lo[G]ng hot summer d[D]ay
For every day I work on the Illinois river
I get a half a day off with [G]pay
All day long I am mak¯ng up[D] barges
On a lon[G]g hot summer [D]day
Instrumental after each verse:DGDDDGDGD
Well I got me a gal in Pea-kin
She is a good old gal, Okay
I bet she is sitting a winder fan
On a long hot summer day
For every day I work on the Illinois river
Get a half a day off with pay
All day long I am making up barges
On a long hot summer day
Last night we had pork for supper
Today It will be chicken consume`
And a fruit jar full of iced tea
On a long hot summer day
For every day I work on the Illinois river
Get a half a day off with pay
All day long I am making up barges
On a long hot summer day
Well we put a man off in Beardstown
When we come down yesterday
Iam gonna off down at Alton
On a long hot summer day
For every day I work on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
All day long I am making up them barges
On a long hot summer day
For e[D]very day I work on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with[G] pay
All day long I am making up the[D]m barges
On a lo[G]ng hot summer d[D]ay
