The Gourds - Raining In Port Arthur Chords

Raining in Port Arthur
 
          G             D          G
this afternoon I walked out into a ditch
    C                    G 
the crawfish stirred the water
    C                        G            C
the papermill blew in on the Southeastern wind
           G       D       G 
and it was raining in Port Arthur
 
I pulled a dead limb from a fallen pine 
the sun was dropping on the lower Neches valley 
I called the dogs from out of the woods with a hollar 
and it was raining in Port Arthur 

that night my daddy drove us to maw maw's 
He and mama wanted to be alone 
I sat up in that mimosa tree with my brother 
and it was raining in Port Arthur 

the refinerys hum and glow from the road 
and I listen to the dove as she mourns 
I'm standing in the rice fields of Beaumont 
and it was raining in Port Arthur
