D                        G             A                       D 
Full o’ whiskey chock’ a fightin’ he’d punch like fourth proof lightnin’ 
                                           A 
Could shoot the tail right off a squealin’ pig 
       D            G            A             D 
Fought bargers also flatters, to him it didn’t matter 
                                A 
Broadside Ballads often get too big 
D                   G             A         D 
Known for his short fuse, for any actin’ unamused 
                           A 
Put another feather in his cap 
D                   G                A         D 
King of keelboatin’ fame, never once pulled up lame 
                         A         D 
‘Til the day he left the old Massassap… 



D                         G               A            D 
The one and only big Mike Fink pushed the river to the brink 
Bm                          A 
Charging up and down the Ohio 
       D            G                A                D 
Did ya know, did ya think, that your boat would never sink? 
             G                  A   G A 
Bullies, and braggarts come and go…

D               G             A                D 
1815 called you West, but the Rockies were not blessed 
                            A 
Faithful Amy always by your side 
    D           G          A                 D 
Lifetime of expedition, to hell with your tradition 
                                A 
Why’d you have to take one more ride? 
        D                  G               A               D 
Barroom bluster trades for clout, could’ve used a scrap of doubt 
                                         A 
When that drunken stupor made your rifle slow 
       D              G               A                 D 
Mug ‘o beer top Amy’s head, aimed too low and now she’s dead 
                      A               D 
So Talbot dropped the curtain on your show… 



D                         G               A            D 
The one and only big Mike Fink pushed the river to the brink 
Bm                          A 
Charging up and down the Ohio 
       D            G              A                  D 
Did ya know, did ya think, hard to see when you don’t blink 
             G                  A 
Bullies, and braggarts come and go…
