[G]I been [D]livin' here [G]all my life,
All I [D]got is a [C]Barlow [G]Knife;
Buck horn [G]handle and a [D]Barlow blade,
Best dang [D]knife that [C]ever was [G]made.
[G]Worked in the [D]cotton mill [G]all my life,
Nothin' to [D]show but a [C]Barlow [G]Knife.
Barlow [D]knife and a [G]Barlow blade,
Best ol' [D]knife that [C]ever was [G]made.
[G]Take my [D]wife, [G]take my life,
Just don't [D]take my [C]Barlow [G]Knife.
Barlow [D]knife and a [G]Barlow blade,
Best ol' [D]knife that [C]ever was [G]made.
