G                       C
They all asked about you
C
Down on the farm
      C              D
The cows asked, the pigs asked
     D             G
The horses asked too
G                         C
All want to know why to the city you moved
     D
You changed your name to Kitty
       D           G
What's come over you?

[Chorus]
          F              C           G
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
               D   C       G
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou
           F               C         G
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
               D   C       G
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou

[Verse 2]
G                             C
Well we's all bawling 'bout you
C            C
Down on the farm
     C              D
The cows bawl, the pigs bawl
     D            G
The horses bawl, too
G
Miss you so much
G              C          G
That crying's all we can do
C           D
Weeping and wailing, praying
D                 G
You'll come home soon

[Chorus]
          F                C         G
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
G             D  C       G
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou
          F               C         G
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
G             D   C      G
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou

[Verse 3]
   C                        G
I hear you're working in a saloon
   C                               G
I hear ya work from midnight 'til noon
G
I might be from the woods
G
But them hours don't sound so good
             D      C         G
What do you do in here, barroom

[Chorus]
          F                C         G
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
G             D   C      G
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou
          F                C         G
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
G             D   C      G
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou

[Verse 4]
C              G
You can't dance so I assume
C                     G
In a bag you couldn't carry a tune
G
I might be from the woods
G
But those hours don't sound so good
             D      C         G
What you doin' in here, barroom

[Chorus]
          F                C         G
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
G             D   C      G
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou
          F                C         G
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
G             D   C      G
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou
