My daddy would not go to work on mornings
He’d been out with Jack Daniel’s all night long
Though daddy never cared too much for dancing
He loved to hear a good ol’ country song.

And son, he said, I never had much money
And I never had the time for fancy clothes
And I’ve always been a fool for Jim Beam whiskey
And I guess I’ve always loved Wild Irish Rose.

Yes daddy was a gambler
My daddy loved the racetrack
What he saw in that God only knows
He loved his wife and children
But he also loved the horses
And I guess he always loved Wild Irish Rose.

My daddy always cried the morning after
Mom ‘n him had argued for so long
He said, when I do right no one remembers
And for sure no one forgets when I do wrong.

But momma she accused my dad of cheating
She swore that she could smell it on his clothes
So finally dad confessed his sins to momma
And he told her all about Wild Irish Rose.

Yes daddy was a gambler
My daddy loved the racetrack
What he saw in that God only knows
He loved his wife and children
But he also loved the horses
And I guess he always loved Wild Irish Rose.

Jody Like A Melody
By David Allan Coe

Capo 1

Jody like a melody, you play inside my head
Till the thought of you is more than I can stand
Just to think of having you is music to my soul
You make me feel as though the world is in my hands
Jody like a melody, you warm me then leave me with a chill

I cant believe the sun will rise
Without me looking in your eyes
And knowing that your love has made me strong
Why you left Ill never know
The fire you built will always glow
I only know I woke to find you gone

Jody like a melody, you warm me then leave me with a chill

(You can use B instead of B7 throughout the song)

Jody I cant keep my thoughts about me in the daytime
When your memorys enough to make me blind
And late at night I lie awake
And wait for you to come home
And when you dont
I almost lose my mind
Jody like a melody, you warm me then leave me with a chill

Played with same chord progression as above
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do

Jody like a melody
Jody like a melody
Jody like a melody
Jody like a melody
Jody like a melody
