[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
Well up on the middle of the mountain side
B
Where the red and the Gray Squirrels play
A E
And the sound of a fiddle when the old man died
C#m
Would've carried his soul awa-aay
[Verse 2]
B E
And some boys hammered on the steel all day
B
And some put a furrow in the ground
A E
But nobody did it like the darlin' boys
C#m
When the fiddle and the bow came do-own
A B E
When the fiddle and the bow came down
[Chorus]
B
Oh the darlin' boys, they all dressed funny
An the darlin' boys, they talked real slow
But nobody didn it like the darlin' boys
A
When it came to the old ban-jooo
E B E
When it came to the old banjo
[Instrumental]
E B A E C#m A B E
[Verse 3]
E
Well down in the middle of a one horse town
B
Where the people stand up high
A E
They pay by the gallon, when the boys came down
C#m
Cause the little town was dry-yyy
[Verse 4]
B E
For the darlin' boys, they trapped on the river
B
And darlin' boys made shine in the night
A E
Nobody did it like the darlin' boys
C#m
When the time of the moon was ri-iight
A B E
When the time of the moon was right
[Chorus]
B
Well the darlin' boys, they all dressed funny
An the darlin' boys, they talked real slow
But nobody didn it like the darlin' boys
A
When it came to the old ban-jooo
E B E
When it came to the old banjo
[Chorus]
B
Well the darlin' boys, they all dressed funny
An the darlin' boys, they talked real slow
But nobody didn it like the darlin' boys
A
When it came to the old ban-jooo
E B E
When it came to the old banjo
[Outro]
