mostly based on the version by chordu so blame them if you want]


[Intro]
     

[Verse]
             
Everything's p

             
redictable in 

              
little river t

      
owns
             
Barges and tob

             
acco, drinking

              
 straight Kent

          
ucky brown
              
Mama's bunions

           
 swelling when

 there's evil 

creeping round
        
Like bodysnatc

hers

             
You know she u

              
sed to tell me

  
 she was gazin

g out at space
          
I can feel the

          
m coming down 

to pilfer and 

erase
             
And I should h

              
ave told you t

              
he first time 

 
that I saw you

 face to face
            
That you're a 


bodysnatcher

[Bridge]
             
I sold my soul

            
 for something

    
 up on Barford

 Hatches
            
Twenty years o

              
f lining down 

           
the tracks
              
Mama said next

            
 time you see 

          
the bodysnatch

ers
              
Tell them all 

             
they'd better 

         
get back

[Chorus]
             
You better get


 back, get bac

k, get back

[Verse]
              
Each Mississip

             
pi river queen

             
 tries to play

           
 the saint
             
This far down 

          
the river you 

pretend you wh

at you ain't
            
I'm the son of

            
 a son of a pi

oneer gun, I s

lather on the 

paint
         
Like a bodysna

tcher

             
The nameless t

              
ombstones crum

    
ble o'er the g

raves of Cairo

 kings
            
When there's h

            
igh water ever

       
ywhere it cove

rs everything
            
And when the s

              
un comes out o

             
f nowhere you 

              
can hear the b

            
irdies sing
          
You're the bod

[Verse]
            
I guess if it 

            
was up to me I

'd probably le

t you live
            
But Mama, when

             
 you cross her

  
, she's slower

 to forgive
            
She'll stick y

        
ou full of pin

s and leave yo

u bleeding lik

e a sieve
       
For bodysnatch

ing

            
So when you co

            
me around here

          
 you best be w

aving somethin

g white
            
A pillowcase o

    
r a handkerchi

ef ought to ge

t the message 

right
             
And you oughta

the middle of 

the night

Don't be a bod
