MOFFETT, OKLAHOMA
Recorded by Charlie Walker
Words and music by Curtis Leach
[D] Well, I rolled into Moff-[D7] ett Okla-[G] homa
[A] Down by the Arkan-[A7] sas state [D] line ...[A7]
I [D] walked into a honky [D7] tonk and [G] ordered
A [A] glass - of Cali-[A7] fornia [D] wine. [P]
[NC] He said, "We got [D] Oklahoma [D7] Blue
And [G] Arkansas homebrew
But, [A] No sir, we don't dig that [A7] foreign [D] kind ...[A7]
We got [D] Brandy, Rum and [D7] Gin
And [G] moonshine for the men
But [A] we don't dig no Cali-[A7] fornia [D] wine."
A big cat stood up at a piano
His beard was at least a foot long
I walked up to the bandstand and asked him
To play me a hillbilly song. [P]
[NC] He said, "We play Rock and we play Pop
We play Blues and we play Bop
But, No sir, we don't dig, 'Down On The Farm'
We play Jazz and we play Jerk
And we watch those mini-skirts
But we don't dig no hillbilly song."
I sat myself down at a poker table
The sign said, Dealers' Choice - I played awhile
When my deal came, I flipped the first card over
Said, "Spit in the ocean, Cucamonga style!" [P]
[NC] He said, "We play Draw and we play Stud
And I mean, bud, we play for blood
But, No sir, we don't dig no, 'Nothin' wild!'
You can buy one in a pinch
Stack the deck or check a cinch
But, we don't dig no, 'Cucamonga style'."
(Change to E:)
I dropped a dollar on the blackjack table
And told the dealer, "Let the face cards fall!"
I turned over 18 and said, "Hit me!"
Well, he did and that's the last thing I recall.
Well, I guess you know the rest
I've got my semi pointed West
Yessir - whine, big Diesel, whine
And if I ever see old Moffett, Oklahoma, again
It'll be west of the California line.
TAG: They'll have to move it - west of that California line.
