[Verse 1]
E             C         G              D
Lily pulled a horseshoe from a pile of junk
          Am                G
Said "I'm going to keep this good luck
         D        D/F#  A
Piece of iron inside my trunk"
    E                   C
The boy just whispered "OK"
    G                     D
And grabbed his old black dog
      Am              G
As we piled on in and cut out through
     D      D/F#   A
That late November fog
E                C     G              D
Dull as a plough share rusting in the yard
    Am                 G
Old Cotton grinned and waved goodbye
          D          D/F#       A
While the auctioneers all played cards
   E           C
On every other Sunday
         G                 D
I'd walk down to Moe's and back
      Am                    G
Eat a t-bone steak, watch a picture show
      D      D/F#  A
For a dollar and a half


[Chorus]
F                     C             G
Come on little sister get up off my knee
         F               C
Going to settle down someday
                 G C/G G7
In a town called Jubi lee
Bb
Come on brother Jake
F/A          Fm/Ab       C/G
Break on out and a break free
         F                    D7/F#
Going to set things right and set up a house
     C/G         Eb/G Bb/G F/C C
In a town called Ju   bi   lee

[Verse 2]
     E                 C
That fog came out of nowhere
      G              D
Short of what I can tell
        Am                  G
Hand to hand we passed that bucket
       D    D/F#     A
Up and down from the well
E            C
"Gone to California"
        G                   D
Used to be what folks would say
      Am                   G
Down around these parts if it was me
         D          D/F#       A
I'd have hoped that west bound stage


[Chorus]
F                     C             G
Come on little sister get up off my knee
         F               C
Going to settle down someday

Going to set things right and set up a house
     C/G         Eb/G Bb/G F/C C
In a town called Ju   bi   lee


[Verse 3]
F               G
One less hallelujah
  C/E              F
A little less sympathy
F                  G
Lily and Jake, the old black dog
  C/E             F       D/F#
A pinewood box, a rocking horse
    C/G  C/G Eb/G Bb/G F/C  C
All gone to  Ju   bi   lee

[Chorus]

Come on little sister get up off my knee
