  E
I figure they's sufficient condensation 'cuz it's drippy in the tent
                                                                  B
Got all them lake folk aflutter, put a post up in the parish bulletin
        E
Bring a bib and bible, it'll be a boil de revival
           A                                   F#/A#
Yeah, them craw and draws'll draw 'em, but the worship is the purpose

[Verse 2]
E
Double up the hush puppy dose, get the dogs in the crates [The sky is a door, you've been given the sight]
                                                             B
Get the house aired out, 'cuz my lovey-dovey's comin' home tonight
B
[Scrape off your knuckle skin to keep yourself awake]
              E
In visions of blood, rising up from out the mud, I seen her glide up
         A                              F#/A#
From the shore to the porch, some sorta porcelain dorsal fin,
      E                               B                                 E
Lordy Lord, I made a bargain with the stars, and now I'm barking up the end.
N.C.
...sturdy wood chair [no arms], yeah...

[Chorus]
G         A

[Verse]
         E
Ain't no sin to eat your fill, jambalaya, fried okra, plantains [The oils need time to seep into the cortex]
                                                    B
Lord got just as many thousand mouths as thine holy names [The air must be wet if you wish it to rise]
        E
Set the tent bord du lac, gonna sing and clap
          A                       F#/A#
When they eyes look like grits, I open up the backflap
E                            B                                      E
Drag 'em out the back sur le lac to the backward-birth 'em past the pain.

[Bridge]
D        C
Her soul from the tide
       G
Ripped back to life-
    A#   C       D
One only need to tithe.
         C
Her body from the slime:
   G
So will she rise, but
A#        G
First the price...

[Breakdown]

E (over the entire section)
Chair weighted down
Where the gator don't breed
Wade up to the knee....
Set the chair weight it down
Where the gator don't breed
Wade up to the knee...
Chair weighted down
Wade up to the knee
Set the chair weighted down
Wade in up to the knee

Wade in up to the knee
I'm bringin' Bobby in first
Set him down, set him free
Walk 'em gentle to the chair
They cain't move, cain't see
Set 'em down in the chair
Cain't move, cain't see
Step back and let it happen
Cain't move, cain't see
Come risin' up behind 'em
Like it gon take a drink
Goin' up to the maw
Gon' see my girl tonight
Get up in the maw
Gon' see my girl tonight
Get up in there
See my girl tonight
Get up in there
See my lovey-dovey tonight...
Hey friends, this is it, this is the end!
