lyrics

Mucking Out The Stalls Words Terry Lee Ransom, Music Jan Hauenstein

(C) (Em) (F) (G)
When (C)I was only (Em)eight years old
I just (F)knew I’d be a (C)star,
(F)Maybe ride the (C)rodeo
Or (Fmaj7)strum an (F)old gui(G)tar,
But (Am)Daddy said, “There’s (E7)work to do
Un(Am)til your (E7)future (Am)calls. (G)
Now, (C)spread some hay and (Fmaj7)dream away
While (F)mucking (G)out the (C)stalls.” (Em) (F) (C) (G)(hold)

The (C)teenage years were (Em)hardest
As my (F)dreams began to (C)fade,
(F)Sweat and weary (C)days
Weren’t the (Fmaj7)only (F)price I (G)paid.
(Am)Daddy said, “There’s (E7)work to do
Un(Am)til your (E7)future (Am)calls.(G)
Now, (C)spread some hay and (Fmaj7)dream away
While (F) mucking (G)out the (C)stalls.” (Em) (F) (C) (G)(hold)

Oh, the (Bbmaj7/F)air was strong
When the stalls stood (Bbmaj7/G)a (Am)mess,
And (E7)I sure learned to re(Am)cog(Am7)nize
The (Fmaj7)fragrance (F)of suc(G)cess! (G7) (G)

(C) Now I own that (Em)old farm
And I (F)work it night and day, (C)
With (F)sweet memories of (C)all I learned
While (Fmaj7)dreaming (F)chores a(G)way.
(Am) Daddy said, “There’s (E7)work to do
Un(Am)til your (E7)future (Am)calls.” (G)
So, I (C)spread some hay and (Fmaj7)dreamed away
While (F) mucking (G)out the (C)stalls. (Em) (F) (C)
(F) (C) (Fmaj7) (G) (C) (Em) (F) (C) (G) (G/B)

I (C)never can re(Em)pay the debt
I owe my (F)Daddy’s guiding (C)hand,
He gave me (F)hope and love and, (C) most of all,
This (Fmaj7)precious (F)piece of (G)land.
I still (Am)hear my Daddy say, “There’s (E7)work to do
Un(Am)til your (E7)future (Am)calls,(G)
So, (C)spread some hay and (Fmaj7)dream away
While (F) mucking (G)out the (C)stalls.(G/B)
(C)Spread some hay and (Fmaj7)(hold)dream away
While (F) mucking (G)out the (C)stalls.” (Em) (F) (G) (C)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
