A#m
[Verse 1]
A#m
Pretty Lavinia
A#m
Of the Six and Five Mile Inns
A#m
Works the lost parlors
A#m
In a town of missing men
D#m
Carolina swamp juice
A#m
By the finger
A#m
As she lingers
G#
Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia
A#m
[Chorus]
A#
What goes in Lavinia's drum?
F A#
One part kisses, three part rum
A#
Northern girl with a Southern tongue
F A#
Pretty Lavinia
[Verse 2]
A#m
Another body
A#m
Was combed from the Ashley Bank
A#m
Tied with cattails and stones until it sank
D#m
But Lavinia
A#m
Breezing corners
A#m
Past the mourners
G#
Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia
Dm
Gossip and needles
Dm
Where the chapel ladies meet
Dm
And pray for Lavinia
Dm
A-sauntering down the street
Gm
Where's Anne Coley?
Dm
What's delayed her?
Dm
Who can say, sir?
C
Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia
Dm
[Chorus]
A#
What goes in Lavinia's drum?
F A#
One part kisses, three part rum
A#
Northern girl with a Southern tongue
F A#
Pretty Lavinia
A#
What goes in Lavinia's drum?
F A#
One part kisses, three part rum
A#
Northern girl with a Southern tongue
F A#
Pretty Lavinia
[Verse 3]
Dm
Mr. Pearl Akin
Dm
Found in the penny fish carts
Dm
Split wide open
Dm
With salt upon his parts
Gm
There's his top hat
Dm
There's his waistcoat
Dm
Where's the bank note?
C
Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia
A#m
Samuel McGinty
A#m
Entered for a roof and bed
A#m
And a shot of red whiskey
A#m
Was poured a black triple instead
D#m
Stumbled Room Six
A#m
There and about
A#m
Never checked out
G#
Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia
A#m
[Chorus]
F#
What goes in Lavinia's drum?
C# F#
One part kisses, three part rum
F#
Northern girl with a Southern tongue
C# F#
Pretty Lavinia
F#
What goes in Lavinia's drum?
C# F#
One part kisses, three part rum
F#
Northern girl with a Southern tongue
C# F#
Pretty Lavinia
