Well, now

D
boys, I’ve been to Bethlehem.
Rode there on a big steam
G
train.
Lost two fingers in the
D
steel mills.
And I
A
ain’t goin’ back
D
again.

I

D
fought for my country,
Lord knows, I did my
G
best.
Crawlin’ ‘cross some
D
foreign field,
They
A
pinned a ribbon to my
D
chest.

Chorus:

G
So, pass around the bottle, boys,
Let’s talk about old
D
times.
Night’s
D
rollin’ in, it’s cold as sin,
A
Here on the welfare
D
line.

D
Served on the Georgia Road Gang.
Couldn’t pay the debts I
G
owed.
‘Cause I’m ain’t made of
D
silver,
And I
A
ain’t never seen no
D
gold.

D
I still remember Rachael,
Soft as a velvet
G
gown.
They layed her in the
D
pauper’s grave,
On the
A
other side of
D
town.

(Repeat Chorus)

Break:

D
G
D
A
D

Now

D
some folks are born to money,
You know I wish them
G
well.
If the devil should ever
D
want my soul,
I
A
swear I’d never
D
sell.

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
