Version 1 Version 2 Version 4
            Artist: Merle Haggard
Song: Oakie From Muskogee
Verse 1:
D
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
                            A
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
                                 D
We like living right, and being free
 
Verse 2: 
D
We don't make a party out of lovin'
                                   A
We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
                                      D
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do
Chorus:
D
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
                                      A
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
                                                  D
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
 
Verse 3:
D#
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
                                  A#
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
                                             D#
And the kids here still respect the college dean
 
Chorus:
D#
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
                                      A#
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
                                                  D#
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
      A#                                          D#
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
     A#                D#
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA
