Sangeree
                   ~ The Hillman

VERSE 1:

Now, I've got a house
Down in Baltimore
With a streetcar runnin'
Right by my door

If I stay lucky
And I don't get killed
I'm going back
To Jacksonville

CHORUS:

Oh, babe
Oh, babe
Oh, babe
Honey babe

VERSE 2:

Now, I've got a shovel
And my wife's got a hoe
Well, if that ain't farmin'
Buddy, I don't know

Well, we bought a farm
Way down south
There's [cotton ?] growin'
All around my house

CHORUS

VERSE 3:

Now, the work is hard
And the pay is small
So, I'm gonna move
Come next Fall

Well, [there's good ?] moonshinin'
But I lost my still
So, I'm goin' back
To Jacksonville

CHORUS

{chorus followed by instrumental break each time except last}
{word "sangree" is echoed throughout verse and chorus}
{punctuation and spelling is mine for better or worse}
{the words with [ ? ] around them my not be correct}
