[Intro]

B7 E7 A
[Verse 1]
A D
In the hills of Oklahoma, there's a legend about a man
D A E
Who roamed the Indian country ever since the rush for land
D A
Firewater was his business, some say his name was Luke
A E A
He had a sixgun 'neath his topcoat and a bottle in his boot
[Chorus]
D A
From Muskogee to Okmulgee, then to Lawton and Shawnee
D A E
Old Luke sold to thirsty squatters, traded skin with the Pawnee
D A
Whether Indian or paleface, didn't matter to old Luke
A E A
He had a sixgun 'neath his topcoat and a bottle in his boot
[Verse 2]
A D
Luke had built a reputation with both outlaw and the law
D A E
He was quick with his bootlegging, even quicker on the draw
D A
Many an Oklahoma lawman found how fast that he could shoot
A E A
Then they'd get a dying snort from the bottle in his boot
[Chorus]
D A
Tulsa, Oklahoma City, none too big and none too small
D A E
Treating everybody equal, he believed in drinks for all
D A
Whether Indian or paleface, didn't matter to old Luke
A E A
He had a sixgun 'neath his topcoat and a bottle in his boot
[Interlude]
D7 G#7 A F#7
B7 E7 A
[Verse 3]
A D
The sixgun was protection from both Indian and law
D A E
He'd get the warriors on the warpath and then sneak off with their squaw
D A
But his firewater was the finest so he seldom had to shoot
A E A
The sixgun 'neath his topcoat with the bottle in his boot
[Verse 4]
A D
For just about a century, Luke had everything his way
D A E
Then, a hungry politician ran for governor one day
D A
He took over Luke's firewater, gave the government his stills
A E A
But you still can see Luke everywhere in the Oklahoma hills
[Chorus]
D A
From Muskogee to Okmulgee, he's appearing every night
D A E
Gumming votes for prohibition in a frock that fits so tight
D A
Looking forward to the day he'll wear a brand new pinstripe suit
A E A
With a sixgun 'neath his topcoat and a bottle in his boot
[Outro]
