Catahoula
David Bellamy

INTRO: D  G  D  G  C  G  D  G

       D
Well I left Okeechobee I was on a quest
           G
Stopped at Weeki Wachee where the mermaids nest
  D
I seen Sopchoppy, I turned it left
      G
I hit Apalachicola, headed west
        C
Crossed two more states and a drivin' rain
G
Finally reached Lake Pontchartrain
       D
In the bayou town I found my dream
N/C 
In the purtiest hound you ever seen


--Chorus--
G                            D
Catahoula, best friend I ever had
                                                                 G
I scratch his ear and he brings my beer and comforts me when I'm sad
                                                    C
My cajun queen went to New Orleans, spent up all my moolah
       D                                                     G
Well I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called Catahoula

(intro)

     D
In a plywood shack eatin' etouffee
        G
Drinkin Dixie beer passin' time away
       D
If the sun goes down on a lazy day
     G
It's time to dance while the 'cordian plays
      C
We'll hunt them 'possums by a southern moon
        G
Just to hear 'em bark makes a-my heart swoon
         D
From the Atchafalaya to the Chandeleur
N/C
The zydeco rhythm and my old pal Blue

(chorus)

D  G  D  G

         C
Well the crawfish boil and the alligators bark
G
Oh I want a little more tobasco sauce
     D
That sawin' fiddle sure feels fine
N/C
I'll sing his praises one more time

(chorus 2x)

D                                                        G
I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called Catahoula

OUTRO: D  G

Found a version online then I spent a while with google maps correcting all the town names. They're all real places in Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
