FAST WOMEN, SLOW HORSES AND WINE
Recorded by Charlie Walker
Words and music by D. Harp
E I used to have money, a A home and a E car ...
A horse and a dog and F# my old gui-{B7} tar ...
A E pretty young wife just as A sweet as could E be ...
Now all I've go left is a B7 family E tree.
CHORUS
E Fast women, slow A horses and E wine ...
Have made me an old man a-{F#} head of my B7 time ...
My E hair once black, now with A silver does E shine ...
On account of fast women, slow B7 horses and E wine.
I first started playin' the horses for fun
The years rolled along but I never once won
I then started slippin' around on my wife
And I'll regret it the rest of my life.
CHORUS
(Note. Changes to F)
F I've lost all my money; my Bb wife took the F car
My home, horse and dog and G my old gui-{C7} tar
Her F new husband is a big Bb hillbilly F star
And the women all swoon when he C7 plays my gui-{F} tar.
F Fast women, slow Bb horses and F wine ...
Have made me an old man a-{G} head of my C7 time ...
My F hair once black, now with Bb silver does F shine ...
On account of fast women, slow C7 horses and F wine.
