Cledus T. Judd - Skoal

A D A E A D A E
Sadie, pull this car over. Let me get me a can of Skoal.

A                                       D
Well, we went down to the Grundy County auction
    A                              E
The sign said no tobaccer where we sat
   A                                    
My wife told me that I should spit with caution
   A                   E               A
Or else we'll all wind up in a big ol' spat.

           A
And I said hush your mouth nobody's gonna mind

If I pack my lip and ignore the sign
         D                   E                    A
'Cause a little dip of Skoal never hurt no one at all
Then, I've never seen anyone get so mad
From a little bit of spit on his John Deere hat
      D                 E
But I spit on him once, spit on him twice
     A
Spit Skoal on the feller in the second row
Well he turned around and nearly broke my nose
I got a big fat lip, two black eyes
Shoulda just went and dipped outside.

         A                                   D
Well, it musta been about eight or nine more minutes
A                                     E
Until I pulled that can of Skoal back out
      A                          D
And I knew when I put my fingers in it
     A                E               A
That I'd just spit it out amongst the crowd. (Look out!)

               A
And you know I really don't care if anybody minds
A pinch 'tween your cheek and gum is not a crime
        D                     E                     A
So I'll do my spittin' and to heck with the rest of y'all
Well I've never saw people gettin' so dang mad
Worst County auction they've ever had
         D                 E
'Cause I spit on 'em once, spit on 'em twice
     A
Spit Skoal on the people, well I must confess
I even got a little on a lady's white dress
But in the end they got me back you see
They all took a dip and spit on me.

           E
Well, they pinned me down on the auction block
    F#m
And took my Skoal away
        G
And the town still hates to talk about
    E
The mess that was made that day.

            A
When I said hush your mouth, nobody's gonna mind
If I pack my lip and ignore the sign
         D                         E              A
'Cause a little dip of Skoal never hurt no one at all
Well, I've never saw people gettin' so derned mad
The worst County auction they've ever had
         D                 E
'Cause I spit on 'em once, spit on 'em twice
     A
Spit Skoal on the people, well I must confess
I even got a little on a lady's white dress
Shoulda swallowed my dip, swallowed my pride
Shoulda just went and spit outsi-de.

Whew!
Boy, that was horrible!
