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.

Muskrat Muskrat Candlelight

Doin^Ò the town in and doin^Ò it right
Aj7 /
In the eve^Ònin^Ò

It^Òs pretty pleasin^Ò
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in Muskrat Land
And they shimmy
Sam he^Òs so skinny
Chorus:
|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
Chorus
