Long Hot Summer Day

      D              
Gonna pick up some of them empties here
                                   G
Just as soon as we know where they lay
                                   D
Tied off of them jolly and leaving minds
       G              D
On a long hot summer day
                      
For every day I work on the Illinois river    
                            G
I get a half a day off with pay
                            D
All day long I am makïng up barges
        G            D
On a long hot summer day

Instrumental after each verse:DGDDDGDGD

Well I got me a gal in Pea-kin
She is a good old gal, Okay
I bet she is sitting a winder fan
On a long hot summer day
For every day I work on the Illinois river
Get a half a day off with pay
All day long I am making up barges
On a long hot summer day

Last night we had pork for supper
Today It will  be chicken consume`
And a fruit jar full of iced tea
On a long hot summer day
For every day I work on the Illinois river
Get a half a day off with pay
All day long I am  making up barges
On a long hot summer day

Well we put a man off in Beardstown
When we come down yesterday
Iam gonna off down at Alton
On a long hot summer day
For every day I work on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
All day long I am making up  them barges
On a long hot summer day
     D                               
For every day I work on the Illinois River
                         G
Get a half a day off with pay
                               D
All day long I am making up them barges
       G              D
On a long hot summer day
