Version 1[Intro] F F C F F C F [Verse] C F Sittin' by the roadside on a summer's day C Chattin' with my mess mates and passing time away F Bb Sittin' in the shadow underneath the trees F C F Goodness how delicious, eating goober peas [Chorus] C F Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas C F Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas [Verse] C F When a farmer passes, the soldiers have a rule C To cry out at their loudest, "Mister, here's your mule" F Bb But there is a pleasure, enchantinger than these F C F It's wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas [Chorus] C F Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas C F Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas [Verse] C F Just before the battle, the General hears a row C He said, "The Yanks are coming, I hear their rifles now" F Bb He turned around in wonder and what do you think he sees? F C F The Georgia militia, eating goober peas! [Chorus] C F Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas C F Peas! Peas! Peas! Peas! Eating goober peas [Verse] C F We think this song has lasted almost long enough C The subject is most interesting, but rhymes are mighty rough F Bb When this war was over, when free from rags and fleas F C F We'll kiss our wives and sweethearts and then we'll gobble goober peas
