Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world

I was looking for a lady
D C G C D C G
Someone to have my baby

So I got me on a 747 Pan America plane

I sat me down next to your all American dame

Said, "I'm going up North", she said, "It's a pity"

Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
D
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
G
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
D
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
G D
Got off the plane, went to the customs and they gave me a list

Do you carry a gun, take drugs, or are you Communist?
Em
They said my papers were in order
D
I wasn't staying long, no sir, I'm going South across the border
G
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
D
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)

Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
