Every ^D Friday evening about sundown
Ole' Black Jack Fletcher and Mississippi Sam
Come ^G ridin' their mules a ^A nd leading their hounds
Down to ^D my place
They holler ^D "Hey son" have you got a drank
Gonna make it hard on you if you ain't
I'd ^G grin and point to ^A a jug coolin' in ^D the spring
They ^D turn the hounds loose and let'em run
Drink a little whiskey and have a lot of fun
^G Talk about the days wh ^A en they were younger t ^D han nowadays
^D Talk about women young and old
It was hard to believe all the stories told
^G Wonder how they got ^A to be as old as ^D they are now
Chorus:
Wel ^G l Black Jack Fletcher and Mississippi Sam
Fought together in Vietnam
^D Mean as hell but they say, "Yes mam" to yo ^A ur momma
They ^G gambled away all the money they made
Knowing they was never gonna change their ways
^D Living out every sing ^A le day like another wa ^D sn't comin'
Verse 2:
^D Well Ole' Black Jack Fletcher was an onry man
Mississippi Sam didn't give a damn
^G They'd steal a lady from ^A a man while he ^D was lookin'
^D Well there ain't no doubt they was both outlaws
Turnin' yellow corn into alcohol
^G But they never hurt ^A no one who didn't ne ^D ed a hurtin'
Chorus:
^G Black Jack Fletcher and Mississippi Sam
Always getting in and out of a jam
^D Makin' up their own law of the land, while ^A a runnin'
^G They knew life was just a luck of the draw
So they played a game with the local law
^D Laughin' and sayin' ^A a catchin' comes befo ^D re a hangin'
Verse 3:
^D Now I wouldn't take nothin' for those days
Every now and then I visit their graves
^G And as the moon hangs in t ^A he haze
