[Verse 1]
Bb
She don't wear no shoes upon her feet, (Joy)
Bb                              Gm
She eats gopher stew and possum meat, (Oh, Joy)
Bb
Wears them tight levi's
Bb
That her little brother buys
Cm                                F
Lord, it tears me up, the way she looks me twixt the eyes (She's loving me)
 
Bb
She lives in the suburbs of the swamp, (My Joy)
Bb                                  Gm
Every weekend through them swamps I run, (To see my Joy)
Bb
Sittin' on the front porch hummin' (Hum)
Bb
Then she sees me comin'
Bb                                       Gm
Drops whatever she's doin' and she comes runnin'
Cm                          Bb   Eb   Bb
I rear back, and I jump for Joy, Joy, Joy

[Verse 2]
Bb
Every weekend I dress fit to kill, (Just for Joy)
Bb                              Gm
I hitchhike from out of Jacksonville, (To see my Joy)
Bb
Up to the Georgia line,
Bb
'mongst the swamps and pines,
Cm                                F
We sit around in her backyard and drink her pappy's shine, (Oh harvest moon)
 
Bb
Long about dark her pappy goes to bed, (Goodnight Joy, you behave now)
Bb                                    Gm
That's when Joy's face starts gettin' red,
Bb
'Cause she knows he's gone,
Bb
And we're all alone,
Bb                                   Gm
That gal knows that's when I come on strong (Daddy's gone, ole boy)
Cm                          Bb   Eb   Bb
I rear back, and I jump for Joy, Joy, Joy
