Eskimo Nell - Cotton Henry and His Oklahoma Hillbillies

Thanks to Neil Hopper for sharing and chording this song.



Bb
She’ll drink your whiskey and she’ll drink your gin
                          G7
But I swear she won’t give in
      C        F                Bb  F
Be careful of Eskimo Nell

Bb
Well she’s not too hot, she’s not too cold
                                             G7
She’s not too shy and she’s not too bold 
      C        F               Bb  F
Be careful of Eskimo Nell

D7
Now she’s not a gal just come to town
G7
She bakes her biscuits with her damper down
C
Look out boys, you better leave her be
F                              
If you don’t like them peaches don’t you shake that tree

Bb
She paints her lips with iodine
                          G7
Her kisses they taste like wine
      C        F                Bb  F
Be careful of Eskimo Nell


(instrumental 1 verse)

Bb
She’ll drink your beer, she’ll drink your wine
                                                            G7
But when she turns you loose you’ve had a time
      C        F                Bb  F
Be careful of Eskimo Nell


Bb
She’s not too dry, she’s not too wet
                                  G7
You’ll have a fall you won’t forget
      C        F                Bb  F
Be careful of Eskimo Nell

D7
Now she’s not a gal just come to town
G7
She bakes her biscuits with her damper down
C
Look out boys, you better leave her be
F                              
If you don’t like them peaches don’t you shake that tree


Bb
To me it’s any old port in a storm
                                                         G7
If you can’t pay the price, don’t you toot your horn
      C        F                Bb  F  Bb F Bb 
Be careful of Eskimo Nell
