  Seen a man standin' over a dead dog   by the highway in a ditch
G                         G         G                       D
 He's lookin' down kinda puzzled   pokin' that dog with a stick
D                       G             C                      G
 Got his car door flung open   he's standin' out on Highway 31
G                        C      G   D                        G
 Like if he stood there long enough   that dog'd get up and run
G                        C  G               D            G
 Man it struck me kinda funny   seem kinda funny sir to me

 Now Mary Lou loved Johnny   with a love mean and true
G                                 G         G                             D
 She said "Baby I'll work for you every day   and bring my money home to you"
D                   G       C                     G
 One day he up and left her   and ever since of that
G                                   C    G     D                        G
 She waits down at the end of that dirt road  for young Johnny to come back
G                        C  G                 D            G
 Man it struck me kinda funny seemed kind of funny sir to me
G                         C           G          D                   G  G  G
 How at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe

 Take a baby to the river   Kyle William they called him
G                           G    G                          D
 They wash the baby in the water   take away little Kyle's sin
D                 G              C                G
 In a whitewash shotgun shack an old man passes away
G                            C       D                     G
 They take his body to the graveyard   and over him they pray
G                    C   G            D           G
 Lord now won't you tell us tell us what does it mean
G                           C           G          D                     G G G

 Congregation gone and the sun sets behind a weepin' willow tree
G               C                    D            D D D                G
 Groom stands alone and watches the river rush on        so effortlessly
G               C    G          D            G
 Lord and hes wonderin' where can his baby be
G                           C           G          D                     G
