[Verse 1]

       A#m
Pretty Lavinia
                         A#m
Of the Six and Five Mile Inns
               A#m
Works the lost parlors
                     A#m
In a town of missing men
         D#m
Carolina swamp juice
       A#m
By the finger
       A#m
As she lingers
G#
  Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia

A#m

[Chorus]
A#
What goes in Lavinia's drum?
F                A#
One part kisses, three part rum
A#
Northern girl with a Southern tongue
F        A#
Pretty Lavinia


[Verse 2]
        A#m
Another body
    A#m
Was combed from the Ashley Bank
          A#m
Tied with cattails and stones until it sank
      D#m
But Lavinia
         A#m
Breezing corners
         A#m
Past the mourners
G#
  Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia

           Dm
Gossip and needles
          Dm
Where the chapel ladies meet
               Dm
And pray for Lavinia
  Dm
A-sauntering down the street
             Gm
Where's Anne Coley?
         Dm
What's delayed her?
        Dm
Who can say, sir?
C
 Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia

Dm

[Chorus]

A#
What goes in Lavinia's drum?
F                A#
One part kisses, three part rum
A#
Northern girl with a Southern tongue
F        A#
Pretty Lavinia

A#
What goes in Lavinia's drum?
F                A#
One part kisses, three part rum
A#
Northern girl with a Southern tongue
F        A#
Pretty Lavinia


[Verse 3]
          Dm
Mr. Pearl Akin
      Dm
Found in the penny fish carts
           Dm
Split wide open
     Dm
With salt upon his parts
            Gm
There's his top hat
            Dm
There's his waistcoat
            Dm
Where's the bank note?
C
 Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia

         A#m
Samuel McGinty
        A#m
Entered for a roof and bed
                  A#m
And a shot of red whiskey
             A#m
Was poured a black triple instead
         D#m
Stumbled Room Six
          A#m
There and about
      A#m
Never checked out
G#
  Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia

A#m

[Chorus]

F#
What goes in Lavinia's drum?
C#               F#
One part kisses, three part rum
F#
Northern girl with a Southern tongue
C#       F#
Pretty Lavinia

F#
What goes in Lavinia's drum?
C#               F#
One part kisses, three part rum
F#
Northern girl with a Southern tongue
C#       F#
Pretty Lavinia

         Dm
Pretty Lavinia
       Dm
Of the Six and Five Mile Inns
               Dm
Works the lost parlors
     Dm
In a town of missing men
         Gm
Carolina swamp juice
       Dm
By the finger
       Dm
As she lingers
C                         Dm
 Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia
C                         Dm
 Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia
(What goes in Lavinia's drum)
       Dm
Of the Six and Five Mile Inns
(One part kisses, three part rum)
               Dm
Works the lost parlors
(Northern girl with a Southern tongue)
     Dm
In a town of missing men
(Pretty Lavinia)
         Gm
Carolina swamp juice
(What goes in Lavinia's drum?)

       Dm
As she lingers
(Northern girl with a Southern tongue)

 Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia

 Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia

C                         Dm
 Pretty, pretty, pretty Lavinia
