A---------------------------------E--------------------A-----------
It was a hot summer day in Memphis, and the bourbon in
-------------------D-----
the kitchen was gone.
A------------------------------------------------E--------------
And she slept and she squirmed and she sighed at the
----------------A-----------------E--------------
bottom of the stairs.
A------------------------------------E------------A--------------
Old McCoven was working everyday, in his little corner
-----------D----
store on 8th.
A-------------------------------------E----------------------------
And he sweated all day and sold bourbon to the people of
-----A--------------E------------
the town.

Chorus:
D------------------A-------------------E--------------------------
Old McCoven, is always hoping, to get her into bed before
-----A-------------------
the corner store opens.
D-----------------A--------------------------E----------------A---
Old McCoven is always hoping, but he loves her everyday.
-------E------------------A------
But he loves her everyday.

When she woke from the bottom of the stairs, she threw the breakfast in the kitchen away.
And she coughed and smoked and she spit at the bottom of the stairs.
And the bourbon was gone so she trudged, to the little corner store on 8th
And she laughed and she sighed and she looked to the bottom of the shelf.

Chorus

With his palm on her brown wrinkled blouse, Old McCoven sighed "Not today.."
But she pouted and she pulled and she pried from the bottom of shelf.
Old McCoven shook his weary head, as she strutted out the door on 8th
In the Memphis sun, so she could sit at the bottom of the stairs.
