Okie from Muskogee (midi)

E

1. We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee,

B7

we don't take no trips on LSD.

We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street,

E

we like livin' right, and bein' free.

E

2. And we don't make no party out of lovin',

B7

we like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo.

We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,

E

like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

E

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,

B7

a place where even squares can have a ball.

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,

E - F ~

and White Lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.

F

3. Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear,

C

beads and Roman sandals won't be seen.

Football's still the roughest thing on campus,

C7 F

and the kids they still respect the college dean.

F

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,

C

a place where even squares can have a ball.

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,

C7 F

and White Lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.

C

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,

C7 F - C - F

in Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
