Intro: (A)  (A)  (A)  (A)

Well, I (A) met Sammy Samson down in New Orleans
He had a lot of money and a big limousine
He (D) took us honky-tonkin' on a Saturday night
We (A) met Silly Milly, everything was all right
Her (E) eyes started rollin', we (D) shoulda went a-bowlin'
(N.C.) Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my

(A)  (A)

Well, (A) Sam and Silly Milly, about a quarter to four
Was rompin' and a-stompin' on the hardwood floor
A(D)long came Flirty Mirty bargin' in on the fun
Silly (A) Milly got jealous and she pulled out a gun
(E) Tables started crashin', (D) fourty-four's a-flashin'
(N.C.) Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my

 	 Well, the (D) police, fire chief, highway patrol
 	 (A) Knockin' down the front door with a big long pole
 	 (D) Sammy was a lyin' on the cold-cold floor
 	 (A) Shot through the middle with a fourty-four
 	 (E) Milly was a-cryin', (D) Sam was surely dyin'
 	 (N.C.) Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my

Well, they (A) took Silly Milly to the jail down town
Booked Silly Milly for a-shootin' old Sam
The (D) judge he gave her twenty, Milly said that's a lot
You (A) shouldn't give me nothing, he was already half shot
A (E) drinkin' white lightnin' (D) started all the fightin'
(N.C.) Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my

 	 Well, the (D) police, fire chief, highway patrol
 	 (A) Knockin' down the front door with a big long pole
 	 (D) Sammy was a lyin' on the cold-cold floor
 	 (A) Shot through the middle with a fourty-four
 	 (E) Milly was a-cryin', (D) Sam was surely dyin'
 	 (N.C.) Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my
