Historical Folk Lyrics
"Rigby Johnson Chandler"

Old man went out co plow, Rigby Johnson Chandler, Old man went out to plow,
And he hooked up a hog with a jersey cow.
Rigby Johnson Chandler, that's enough for me.

CHORUS:
It's frosty on the prairie and the sun is shining down,
It's thunder in the mountains and it's rainin' all around.

Old man died on the railroad track, Rigby Johnson Chandler,
Old man died on the railroad track,
And they carried him home in two gunny sacks.
Rigby Johnson Chandler, that's enough for me.

Had an old hen and she learned to fly, Rigby Johnson Chandler,
Had an old hen and she learned to fly, And she laid an egg two miles high.
Rigby Johnson Chandler, that's enough for me.

Two old maids sittin' in the sand, Rigby Johnson Chandler,
Two old maids a-sittin' in the sand,
Each of 'em wishes :hat the other was a man.
Sing Rigby Johnson Chandler, that's enough for me.

I took my woman down to town, Rigby Johnson Chandler,
I took my woman down to town,
And she went to the circus and run off with the clown.
Rigby Johnson Chandler, that's enough for me.

I went in a joint to drink some beer,
Rigby Johnson Chandler,
I went in a joint to drink some beer,
A man came in with a big long tommy gun
And he looked around and said, "There's too many people here."
That's the tommy gun.
(Last line spoken while striking repeatedly on guitar.]
