J.W. Crowell was a hell of a man   
                                 E         A
He played two nights a week in a hillbilly band   
                              D         A
He played at the Ice House on Telephone Road   
                              E           A
He played in the yard just to lighten his load

Don’t make me say it again or I’m gone
