 Subject: Song for the Corral
 Greg,
 This song was done by both Doc Watson and Hylo Brown and the Blue Ridge
 Mountain Boys.  I've combined a few verses from each and came up with this
 version.  I'm sure there is a few different ones floating around. Doc does
 it in the key of F.  Hylo Brown does it in D.  I prefer D so D it is.
 
 Anyway, this was my grandmother song.  So, I thought I might share it with
 all in memory of Amy Lucas, my dear old grandmother.
 
 Hope everyone gets as much out of it as I do when I play it.
 
 Intoxicated Rat
 Hylo Brown and the Blue Ridge Mountain Boys
 
 [D]Well the other night when I came in
 just as drunk as I could[G] be
 Got[D] tangled up in the [G]old door latch
 Fell[D] flat on the [A]floor as I could[D] be
 
 I had a little ol' bottle of rum
 And I did not have any[G]more
 The[D] cap came off when I[G] fell down
 And I[D] spilt it[A] in the [D]floor
 
 Well a rat came out from his hiding place and
 He got that whiskey[G] scent
 He[D] ran right up and got [G]him a little shot
 And[D] back to his[A] hole he [D]went
 
 And back to his hole he went
 And back to his hole he[G] went
 He [D]ran right up and got a [G]little shot
 And[D] back to his[A] hole he [D]went
 
 Well he came out from his hole again
 Trotted up to the rum on the[G] floor
 With[D] a little bitty shine he [G]wink one eye
 And[D] he got him[A] a little drink[D] more
 
 Well he didn't go back to his hole that time
 He stayed by the pool of[G] gin
 He[D] said "Doggone, my pop[G]eyed soul,
 I'm[D] a gonna [A]get drunk [D]again."
 
 Well he didn't go back to his hole
 He said "Doggone, my[G] soul,
 I'm[D] only a rat but a [G]doggone cat
 Can't[D] chase me[A] back to my[D] hole."
 
 He washed his face with his front paws
 And on his hind legs [G] sat,
 And[D] he's a getting' pretty high when he[G]winked one eye
 He [D]says, "Where's[A] that old [D]tom cat?"
 
 Now where's that old tom cat?
 I said, where's that old [G]tom cat?
 He's[D] a getting' high when he winked[G] one eye
 He[D] says where's[A] that old tom [D]cat.
 
 The old tom cat come a slippin' in
 Dashed over to the middle of the[G] floor
 The[D] cat jumped over and the rat[G] got sober
 And[D] he never[A] got drunk no[D] more.
 
 He didn't get drunk no more
 No he never got drunk no[G] more
 The[D] cat jumped over and the [G]rat got sober
 And[D] he never [A]got drunk no[D] more.
