Luther Recorded by Boxcar Willie Written by Kenneth Morris Jones and Larry Randal Kingston
C F C I can still remember the first time I saw him G7 C Silver-haired old man even then F C But we hit it off together and fished old Paine River G7 C Through the years I'm proud to say Luther was my friend
F C They all called him crazy said his mind was simple G7 C They even talked of puttin' him away F C But he wouldn't hurt nobody and I hated all the town folk G7 C The way they treated Luther and the game they used to play
G7 F C They said Luther here's a dollar Luther here's a quarter F C G7 Take either one you want old man which one will it be C F C Then they'd all hoop and holler and he never took the dollar G7 C He'd take the shiny quarter smile and walk away
F C I watched him growin' older and I finally gave up countin' G7 C The times they made him play that awful game F C Till one day he lay a-dyin' and I was sittin' by him G7 C He said boy before I go there's somethin' to explain
F C I know you've always wondered why I just took their quarters G7 C And now son you're old enough to understand F C But you see the way I had it figured was never take that dollar G7 C The day you do boy the money game will end
Repeat #3
F C Now Luther lay a-sleepin' in the ground down by the river G7 C Lord knows I miss that old black man F C But twenty sacks of quarters and the wisdom of his thinkin' G7 C Have made my life much easier than I had ever planned
F C Well I often go to see him and I place a paper dollar G7 C And a brand new shiny quarter on his grave F C And I feel my body shiver as a cool breeze from the river G7 C Blows that paper bill up through the trees and far away
G7 F C Luther here's a dollar Luther here's a quarter F C G7 Take either one you want old man which one will it be C F C He lived and died in squalor and he still won't take the dollar F C G7 C But there's a pile of quarters heaped high on Luther's grave
Repeat #3 x2
