Hi Jolly

G         D         G                      D
Hi Jolly, Hey Jolly twenty miles today, by golly
G                              D
Twenty more before the morning light
G         C     G                  D
Hi Jolly, Hey-I gotta be on my way-I
G               D       C      G
Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night.

[Verse 1]
G
Hi Jolly was a camel driver, long time ago
                                   D
He followed Mr. Blaine out way out west
G               C                    G            D
Didn't mind the burning sand in that God-forsaken land
G             D        C               G
But he didn't mind the pretty gals the best.

[Chorus]
G         D         G                      D
Hi Jolly, Hey Jolly twenty miles today, by golly

Hi Jolly, Hey-I gotta be on my way-I

Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night.

G
They got pretty girls in Albuquerque

'Least that's what I've heard
                         D
Pretty gals in Tucumcari too
G                  C
Now, Honey I ain't blind
            G            D
But I don't pay them any mind
           C             D               G
'Cause I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Ab
Old timers down in Arizona tell you that it's true
                                         Eb
You can see Hi Jolly's ghost a-travelin' still
         Ab             Db
When the desert moon is bright
         Ab                 Eb
He comes riding through the night
        Ab       Db            Eb         Ab
Leading four and twenty camels across the hill.

And singin'

[Chorus]
G         D         G                      D
Hi Jolly, Hey Jolly twenty miles today, by golly

Hi Jolly, Hey-I gotta be on my way-I
G               D       C      G
Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night.

Told my gal I'd be home Sunday ni-i-i-i-ight. Yee haw!
