27 Mar 06 - 01:10 AM (#1703570) Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: GIVE ME FORTY ACRES From: Bugsy [G] He was headin' into Boston in a [C] big, long Diesel truck It was [D7] his first trip to Boston, he was [G] having lots of luck He was going the wrong direction down a one-[C] way street in town And [D7] this is what he said when the police chased him [G] down. CHORUS [G] Give me forty acres and I'll [C] turn this rig around It's the [D7] easiest way that I've [G] found ... [D7] Some [G] guys can turn it on a dime or [C] turn it right downtown But [D7] I need forty acres to turn this rig a-[G] round. When he finally found where to unload, he had a dreadful shock His trailer pointed toward the road and his cab right to the dock And as he looked around him through the tears he made this sound Oh, give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around. CHORUS When he finally got unloaded, he was glad to leave the town He was very, very happy, headin' back to Alabam' When up ahead he saw a sign, said; "You are Northward bound." He said; "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig a- round." He was driving down the right lane, when ahead he saw a sign Now he's gotta make a left turn, but he cannot get in line And the tears were streaming down his cheeks and they all heard him yell "Give me forty sticks of dynamite and I'll blow this thing to ... !" CHORUS Cheers Bugsy |

Ah'd smoke chains, if Ah could light 'em." Sometimes, when Hubby is struggling with the (NOT power)steering in the OOOOOLLLLLDDDDD Chevy pickup, he sings a line or 2 of Give Me 40 Acres.... Tw |
