       Em  G  D  Am  C  G  D  Em 

           G          D           Am 
Mother Red River, she wind like a copperhead 
C         G          D        Am 
Coils and boils over Dennison Dam 
Em           G       D           Am 
Little white houses, eggs on the rocky bed 
C        G          C          D  
I am the son of the serpent, I am 




G      G/F#   Em            D      G 
Raised on the river, washed in the blood 
D                                  Em 
Blood runs thicker than bottomland mud 
                                  D           G 
And the wheel sinks deeper as the years spin 'round 
D                             Em 
Thirty bad summers in Tillman County

My uncle, Little Tree, dreams of another life 
C           G             D         Am 
Coddles his cattle and he rents his range 
Em        G          D           Am 
Holds the fan to the face of his pretty wife 
C         G             C          D  
She knows nothing ain't ever gonna change, she was 



G      G/F#   Em            D      G 
Raised on the river, washed in the blood 
D                                  Em 
Blood runs thicker than bottomland mud 
                                  D           G 
And the wheel sinks deeper as the years spin 'round 
D                             Em 
Thirty bad summers in Tillman County
