[Verse 1]

            D
You must be daddy's little pumpkin
      G                   D
I can tell by the way you roll
            G
You must be daddy's little pumpkin
                          D
I can tell by the way you roll
           A
Well, it's quarter past eleven
                                   D
And you're sleeping on the bedroom floor


[Verse 2]

      D
I can see the fire burning
G                         D      D7
Burning right behind your eyes
      G
I can see the fire burning, baby
                          D
Burning right behind your eyes
            A
You must of swallowed a candle
                         D
Or some other kind of surprise


[Verse 3]

    D 
I'm going down to Memphis
    G                        D
Got three hundred dollars in cash
          G
Yeah, I'm going down to Memphis
                             D
Got three hundred dollars in cash
        A
All the women in Memphis
                                  D
Gonna see how long my money could last

[Verse 4] 

          D
Well, I'm going downtown
          G                 D
I'm gonna rattle somebody's cage
          G
Yeah, I'm going downtown
                            D
I'm gonna rattle somebody's cage
          A
I'm gonna beat on my guitar
                         D
And strut all around the stage


[Verse 5]

       D
If you see my baby coming
         G                            D     D7
Don'tcha tell her that her daddy's in jail
       G
If you see my baby coming
                                   D
Don't tell her that her Daddy's in jail
      A
She'd sell her little pumpkin just to raise
                  D
Her sweet daddy's bail


[Verse 6]

            D
You must be daddy's little pumpkin
      G                   D
I can tell by the way you roll
            G
You must be daddy's little pumpkin
                          D
I can tell by the way you roll
          A
Well, you never do nothing
                     D
To save your doggone soul
