[Verse 1]
E C G D
Lily pulled a horseshoe from a pile of junk
Am G
Said "I'm going to keep this good luck
D D/F# A
Piece of iron inside my trunk"
E C
The boy just whispered "OK"
G D
And grabbed his old black dog
Am G
As we piled on in and cut out through

That late November fog

Dull as a plough share rusting in the yard
Am G
Old Cotton grinned and waved goodbye

While the auctioneers all played cards

On every other Sunday

I'd walk down to Moe's and back

Eat a t-bone steak, watch a picture show

For a dollar and a half
[Chorus]

Come on little sister get up off my knee

That fog came out of nowhere

Short of what I can tell

Hand to hand we passed that bucket
D D/F# A
Up and down from the well
E C
"Gone to California"

Used to be what folks would say
Am G
Down around these parts if it was me

I'd have hoped that west bound stage
[Chorus]

One less hallelujah

A little less sympathy

Lily and Jake, the old black dog

A pinewood box, a rocking horse

All gone to Ju bi lee
