Catahoula (if you know who all they sing this with, let me know)
written by David Bellamy
NOTE: My spelling is horrible...if you know the proper way to spell any of these
places/things, let me know.
INTRO: D G D G C G D G
Well I l[D]eft Okachobie I was on a quest
Stopped at [G]Wickie Watchi where the mermaids nest
I [D]seen Stock Choppie, I turned it left
Hit [G]Appolachie Cola, headed west
Crossed [C]2 more states and a drivin' range
[G]Finally reached Lake Ponchatrain
In the [D]bayou town I found my dream
N/C
In the purtiest hound you ever seen
CHORUS:
[G]Catahoula, best friend I ever h[D]ad
I scratch his ear and he brings my beer and comforts me when I'm [G]sad
My cajun queen went to New Orleans, spent up all my m[C]ullah
Well I [D]don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called C[G]atahoula
INTRO
In a p[D]lywood shack eatin' e'toupe
Drinkin D[G]ixie beer passin' time away
If the [D]sun goes down on the legs of day
It's [G]time to dance as the accordian plays
We'll [C]hunt them 'possums by a southern moon
Just to [G]hear 'em bark makes my heart swoon
N/[D]C
The zydeco rhythm and my old pal Blue
CHORUS
[D] [G] [D] [G]
Well the c[C]rawfish boil and the alligators bark
Oh I [G]want a little more tobasco salt
That s[D]awin' fiddle sure feels fine
N/C
I'll sing his praise just one more time
CHORUS (2x)
[D]I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called C[G]atahoula
