Don't Pay The Ransom
Recorded by Nat Stuckey
Written by Dalton Roberts and Jack Shoemake

G C
Last night I stopped off for a beer on my way home
G A7 D7
And I saw this broken hearted sweet thing crying all alone
G C
My tender heart was deeply touched at the sight of a woman's tears
G
So I said hi there and I pulled up a chair
D7 G
And ordered us a couple of beers

C
We must have drunk a gallon of brew
G
When I looked at my watch it was half past two
A7 D7
And I suddenly realized I hadn't even called my wife
G
And knowing what would happen to me when I get home
C
I nearly broke my neck getting to the phone
G D7 G
And here's what I told her in an effort to save my life

C
Don't pay the ransom honey I've escaped
D7 G
Considering what I've been through I'm in good shape
C
Well my wrist and ankles are a little sore from the tape
G D7 G
But don't pay the ransom honey I've escaped

C
Now if you got tied up somewhere tonight on your way home
G
In a poker game or with a good looking dame
A7 D7
And it slips your mind to phone
G
Don't blow your cool like a crazy fool
C
And tell your woman where you've been
G
Your situation requires imagination
D7 G
And I've got a suggestion my friend tell her...

Repeat #3

D7 G
No don't pay the ransom honey I've escaped
