Words and music by hank williamssr.

I [c] know there's never been a man in the awful [c7] shape I'm [f] in

I can't even [c] spell my namemy [d7] heads in such a [g7] spin

To-[c] day I tried to eat a steak with a big old [c7] table-[f] spoon

You got me chasin' rabbits[c] walkin' on my hands

...and [g7] howlin' at the [c] moon.

Well(*sug)I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad

And then I even went and lost what little sense I had

Now I can't tell the day from nightI'm crazy as a loon

You got me chasin' rabbitspullin' out my hair and howlin' at the moon.

Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree

'cause there ain't a hound dog in this state that can hold a light to me

I eat three bones for dinner todaythen tried to tree a 'coon

You got me chasin' rabbitsscratchin' fleas and howlin' at the moon.

I rode my horse to town to day and a gas pump we did pass

I pulled 'im up and I hollered whoa!said fill 'im up with gas

The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham!he changed my tune

You got me chasin' rabbitsspittin' out teeth and howlin' at the moon.

I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard

But honey babywhen I fell the whole world must have jarred

I think I'd quit my doggish ways if you'd take me for your groom

You got me chasin rabbitspickin' out rings and howlin' at the moon
