Muskrat Candlelight

Willis Alan Ramsey

Willis Alan Ramsey recorded one classic album on Leon's Shelter

records back in 73 or 74. The album has been reissued on CD.

W A Ramsey is still giggin' ya gotta see 'im. Yes, this is

that Captain and Tenille thing ev'ryone hated; W.A. version

will take you to another land.

Notation: Each chord is a measure, each / is a measure

of the previous chord. W.A. actually plays in different

tunings, these changes are really implied voicings.

It^Òs pretty pleasin^Ò

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam

Do the jitterbug out in Muskrat Land

And they shimmy

Sam he^Òs so skinny

|Aj7 G#-7 |F#-7

And they whirl and they twirl and they tango

|Aj7 G#-7 |F#-7

Singin^Ò and jingin^Ò a jango

|Aj7 G#-7 |F#-7

Floatin^Ò like the heavens above

|Gj7 |/ D#j7 |Ej7 | / | / | / |

Looks like Muskrat love

Nibblin^Ò on bacon chewin^Ò on cheese

Sammy says to Susie "Honey would you please

Be my Missus"

She says yes with her kisses

So he^Òs ticklin^Ò her fancy rubbin^Ò her toes

Muzzle to muzzle, now, anything goes

As he wriggle

See Sue start to giggle
