Sammy Lou

Sammy Lou

By Tim Lake

D G

Sammy Lou was no ordinary cowboy

D A7sus4 A7

And he didn't much care for riding on the range

G D

'Cause Sammy liked those fast city woman

C G D

He liked the rush that he got off the fast city cocaine

D G

Sammy bought him a Lincoln down in Dallas

D A7sus4 A7

That he drove to all the concerts in your towns

G D

He bought it without animosity or malice

C G D

He just walked right in and he laid the money down

Chorus

G D G A7sus4 A7

'Cause Sammy Lou was a mean guitar picker and ain't it a shame that he never got too far

G D C G C G

Some said it was the dope some say the liquor when they carried him out of that East Milwaukee bar

C A7 D

Let's celebrate the boy finally reached the stars

D G

But Sammy had the respect of every picker

D A7sus4 A7

Who ever lost at love or ever won at getting by

G D

Or ever wrote a song about just how much he missed her
