Intro: (played twice) Verse: There's a Yankee in the Cumberland With a pistol in his boot Dreamin' about salty water And he's lookin for a snake to shoot Chorus: I'm thinkin' it won't get any worse I'm thinkin' about buyin' you a hat and a purse I'm wishin' I never came here You know my heart was ever sincere And every now and then I realize You are rhythm you are melody Giving me that silent torture You might as well poison my tea I'm thinkin' it won't get any worse I'm thinkin' about buyin' you a hat and a purse I'm thinkin' about strangling you You know that never was more untrue (Thinkin' about predestination Predestination and free will What about that wonderful plan) There's a Christian underneath his house Trying to recall the light He's prayin' for divine intervention His lips are frozen to the pipe (are frozen to the pipe) I'm thinkin' it can't get any worse I'm thinkin' about buying you a hat and a purse I'm dreamin' about thrilling you Oh honey my heart was never more true You know my heart was never more true Notes: Pretty straight forward. Listen to the album for the rhythm. Some of the chords maybe in the wrong places, I apologize. Not really a whole ton of odd effects here other than some distortion. (courtesy of Mike Prewett
