Version 1
            [Intro]
A     D E

[Verse 1]
      A
Well, me and my baby was a-walkin' down the road
A
Hoppin' along like two little toads
  A
I looked down at her; I said, "What can we do?"
           N.C.
She said, "Let's go someplace where we can bop to the blues!"
         A
I said I didn't know a place where we could do such a thing

She said, "I know a little place, and, man, it's just a dream!"
     A
It's just a little spot on the outside of town
      A
Where we can really pick 'em up and put 'em down!"
      D           A
So we went, we as gone gone long gone
           E                                  D                A
Well  I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song.

[Verse 2]
        A
Well we went to a place called "Everybody's"
   A
I met a little chick called 'the Tennessee Toddy'
    A
The reason that they called this chick 'Tennessee Toddy"
        N.C.
Was she had long legs and a little bitty body,
         D                            A
But that cat could go, yeah, she was gone, gone, gone,
         E                            D                     A
And I'll tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song.

[Verse 3]
             A
Well she was long and lean like a green string bean:
A
Calm and collected and cool and keen!
         A
She was all of this and a whole lot more;
     N.C.
When baby saw me watching her, she threw me out the door
        D                        A
And we were gone, yeah, we were gone, gone, long gone,
         E                            D                     A
And I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song.

A  D  A   E  D  A

[Verse 4]
      A
Well  took baby home and she said, "Good night"
           A
She said, "Be real good and sleep real tight!"
       A
Well I rushed right back to Everybody's
         N.C.
'Cause I had to get acquainted with the Tennessee Toddy!
      D                      A
So we left there, yeah I was gone, gone, long gone,
         E                             D                     A
And I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song.

[Verse 5]
      A
I was back there jumpin' with Toddy at three
     A
When in walked a gent twice as big as me
   A
He looked real mean and mad and sore;
   N.C.
He made for me and I made for the door,
       D                    A
Just a-runnin', yeah, I was gone, gone, long gone,
          E                            D                     A
And I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song.

[Verse 6]
       A
Well I didn't know that Toddy had a man of her own
A
Made out of nothing but muscle and bone
  A
I know I'd rather have baby instead
    N.C.
But that big ape put knots on my head
     D                       A
So I left there, yeah, I was gone, gone, long gone,
           E              D                     A
Well there ain't no more, this is the end of my song
