Darlington

G She was raised up in a cotton field D In the South Carolina sand C A place they call the Pee Dee G D Where no bright light city’d stand G But the boys came down from all around D Like moths drawn to the flame C They’d try to win her over D G But she was, too tough to tame G Still each and every Labor Day D The boys would all come down C Wantin’ to get lucky G D With that lady in black Em She was fickle with’em all C And she’d stripe’em, spin’em on the wall G D And you were really something when you won G At Darlington G Yeah end of every summer D She would be the Pee Dee’s pride C The boys came with their shinny cars but she’d D Take them for the ride Em Yeah Cael and Dale and awesome Bill C All had their way but even still G D The lady ruled the day when it was done G At Darlington Em Now all the boys, they still say C Em That they love her the most C But they’ve gone to chasin money D On the California cost G Now the lady in black is faded gray D She’s all alone on labor day C G The boys don’t come around her anymore Em When those folks from California C Stole the show that shoulda warned ya G D That changing times would set the summer sun C C7 On Darlington G C D Yea don’t they know the awful thing they’ve done G Cadd9 G To Darlington …That aint no way to treat a lady
