[Verse 3]
Am Em7 F C
But the Camptown man he doesn't plow no more
Am Em7 F C
I seen him walking down to the superette store
Am Em7 F C
Guess he lost that nag and he forgot that song
Am Em7 F C C
Woke up one morning and the mule was gone
C C C Csus4
So come all ye ragtime kings
C C C Csus4
Come on you dogs that sing
C F C Am G7 G7 Gsus4 G
Pick up your dusty old horn and give it a blow
[Chorus]
Am Em7 F C
Singing hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
Am Em7 F C
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, sugar
Am Em7 F G7 G7
Hard times ain't gonna rule? my mind
C C
No more
