Verse 1
Eb
Well, I had two weeks
of vacation time coming
Ab
After working all year down at Big
Eb
Roy's Heating And Plumbing
Bbm
So one night when my family the I were
gathered 'round the dinner table
Eb
I said, "Kids, if you could go anywhere
in this great big world, now
Ab
Where'd you like to go ta"
Eb
Db
They said, "Dad, we want to see the biggest
Ab
Eb
ball of twine in Min nesota"
Db
They picked the biggest ball
Ab
Eb
of twine in Min nesota
Verse 2
Eb
So the very next day we
loaded up the car
Ab
Eb
With potato skins and pickled wieners,
Crossword puzzles, Spider- Man comics,
Bb
and mama's home made rhubarb pie
Eb
Ab
Pulled out of the driveway and the neigh bors,
Abm
they all waved good- bye
Eb
Bb
And so began our three day journey
Verse 3
Eb
Ab
We picked up a guy holding a sign
that said "twine ball or bust"
Eb
He smelled real bad and he
Bb
Eb
said his name was Bernie
Db
I put in a Slim Whitman tape,
Eb
my wife put on a brand new hair net
Db
Kids were in the back seat
Eb
jumping up and down,
Yelling "Are we there yet?"
Ab
Fm
And all of us were joined together
Eb
Cm
in one common thought
Bb
As we rolled down the long and winding
Eb
interstate in our '53 DeSoto
Db
We're gonna see the biggest ball
Ab
Eb
of twine in Min nesota
Db
We're headin' for the biggest
Ab
ball of twine in Min nesota
Eb
Verse 4
Oh, we couldn't wait to get there
Ab
So we drove straight through
Eb
for three whole days and nights
Of course, we stopped for more
Bb
pickled wieners now and then
Eb
The scenery was just so pretty,
Ab
boy I wish the kids could of seen it
Eb
But you can't see out
of the side of the car
Bb
Because the windows are
completely covered
Eb
With the decals of all the place where
Bb
Eb
we've already been
Verse 5
Ab
Eb
There's Elvis- O- Rama,
the Tupperware Museum,
Bb
The Boll Weevil Monument,
Eb
and Cranberry World,
Ab
The Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame,
Eb
Poodle Dog Rock,
F
Bb
And The Mecca of Albino Squir rels
Ab
We've been to ghost towns,
Eb
theme parks, wax museums,
Bb
And a place where you can drive
Eb
through the middle of a tree
Ab
Eb
We've seen alligator farms and tarantula ranches,
F
But there's still one
Bb
thing we gotta see
Verse 6
Eb
Well, we crossed the state
line about 6:39
Ab
And we saw a sign that said "Twine
Eb
Ball exit - 50 miles"
Oh, the kids were so happy the
started singing
Ab
"99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall"
Eb
for the 27th time that day
So, we pulled off the road at the
last chance gas station
Ab
Got a few more pickled wieners and a
Eb
diet chocolate soda
Db
On our way to see the biggest ball
Ab
Eb
of twine in Min nesota
Db
We're gonna see the biggest ball
Ab
of twine in Minnesota
Eb
Verse 7
Eb
Ab
Finally, at 7:37 early Wednesday
evening as the sun was setting
Eb
Db
Ab
In the Minnesota sky
Eb
Out in the distance, on the horizon,
Ab
it ap peared to me like a vision
Eb
Before my unbelieving eye
I parked the car and walked with awe-
Db
Ab
filled reverence toward s that
Eb
Glorious huge majestic sphere
I was just so overwhelmed
Db
Ab
by its sheer im mensity,
Eb
I had to pop myself a beer
Ab
Yes, on these hallowed grounds,
Db
Ab
open ten to eight on weekdays,
Eb
In a little shrine under a make- shift pagoda,
Db
There sits the biggest ball
Ab
of twine in Minnesota
Eb
Db
I tell you, it's the biggest
Ab
ball of twine in Minnesota
Verse 8
Eb
Db
Ab
Oh, what on earth would make a man
Eb
Db
Ab
decide to do that kind of thing?
Eb
Db
Oh, windin' up twenty- one thousand,
Ab
Eb
Db
Ab
one hundred forty pounds of string
Eb
What was he trying to prove,
Db
Ab
who was he trying to im press
Eb
Why did he build it, how did he do,
Db
Ab
it was anybody's guess
Eb
Where did he get the twine,
Db
Ab
what was goin' through his mind
Db
Ab
Did it just seem like a good
Bb
idea at the time
Verse 9
Eb
Well, we walked up beside it and I
warned the kids
Ab
"Now, you better not touch it,
Eb
those ropes are there for a reason"
I said, "Maybe if you're good,
Ab
I'll tie it to the back of our car
And we can take it home",
Eb
but I was only teasin'
Then we went to the gift
shop and stood in line
Db
Ab
Bought a souvenir miniature ball of twine,
Eb
some window decals,
Ab
And anything else they'd sell us
Eb
And we bought a couple post cards,
"Greetings from the twine ball,
Wish you were here"
Bb
Eb
Won't the folks back home be jealous
Verse 10
Ab
Eb
I gave our camera to Bernie and we stood
Bb
by the ball and we all gathered
Eb
'round and said, "Cheese"
Ab
The Bernie ran away with my
Eb
brand new Insti- Matic,
F
Bb
But at least we got our memor ies
Eb
Then we all just stared at the ball for a
Ab
while and my eyes got moist,
Eb
But I said with a smile, "Kid s,
Bb
this here's what America's all about"
Eb
Then I started feelin' kinda gooey
Ab
inside and I fell on my knees
And I cried and cried
Eb
And that's when those secur
Bb
Eb
ity guards threw us out
You know,
Ab
I bet if we unraveled that sucker,
Db
Ab
It'd roll all the way down to Fargo,
Eb
North Dakota
Db
'Cause it's the biggest ball
Ab
of twine in Minnesota
Eb
Db
I'm talkin' 'bout the biggest ball
Ab
Eb
of twine in Min nesota
Verse 11
Eb
Well, we stayed that night
at the Twine Ball Inn
Ab
In the morn ing we were
on our way home again
Eb
But we really didn't want to leave,
Bb
that was perfectly clear
Eb
I said, "Folks,
I can tell you're all sad to go"
Ab
Abm
Then I winked my eye and I said, "You know,
Eb
I got a funny kind of feelin'
Bb
We'll be com in' back again
Eb
next year"
Ab
'Cause I've been all around
this great big world
Db
And I can't think of anywhere
Ab
Eb
else I'd rather go to
Db
Ab
Than the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
Eb
Db
I said the biggest ball
Ab
Eb
of twine in Min nesota
B
