FAST WOMEN, SLOW HORSES AND WINE
Recorded by Charlie Walker
Words and music by D. Harp
E A E
I used to have money, a home and a car ...
F# B7
A horse and a dog and my old guitar ...
E A E
A pretty young wife just as sweet as could be ...
B7 E
Now all I've go left is a family tree.
CHORUS
E A E
Fast women, slow horses and wine ...
F# B7
Have made me an old man a head of my time ...
E A E
My hair once black, now with silver does shine ...
B7 E
On account of fast women, slow horses and wine.
I first started playin' the horses for fun
The years rolled along but I never once won
I then started slippin' around on my wife
And I'll regret it the rest of my life.
CHORUS
(Note. changes to
F )
F Bb F
I've lost all my money; my wife took the car
G C7
My home, horse and dog and my old guitar
F Bb F
Her new husband is a big hillbilly star
C7 F
And the women all swoon when he plays my guitar.
F Bb F
Fast women, slow horses and wine ...
G C7
Have made me an old man a head of my time ...
F Bb F
My hair once black, now with silver does shine ...
C7 F
On account of fast women, slow horses and wine.
