Johnny Cash - Welfare line

Well, now ^Dboys, I've been to Bethlehem. Rode there on a big steam ^Gtrain. Lost two fingers in the ^Dsteel mills. And I ^Aain't goin' back ^Dagain.

I ^Dfought for my country, Lord knows, I did my ^Gbest. Crawlin' 'cross some ^Dforeign field, They ^Apinned a ribbon to my ^Dchest. Chorus: ^GSo, pass around the bottle, boys, Let's talk about old t^Dimes. Night's ^Drollin' in, it's cold as sin, ^AHere on the welfare ^Eline.

^DServed on the Georgia Road Gang. Couldn't pay the debts I ^Gowed. 'Cause I ain't made of ^Dsilver, And I ^Aain't never seen no ^Dgold.

^DI still remember Rachael, Soft as a velvet ^Ggown. They layed her in the ^Dpauper's grave, On the ^Aother side of ^Dtown. Chorus: ^GSo, pass around the bottle, boys, Let's talk about old t^Dimes. Night's ^Drollin' in, it's cold as sin, ^AHere on the welfare ^Eline.

Now ^Dsome folks are born to money, You know I wish them ^Gwell. If the devil should ever ^Dwant my soul, I ^Aswear I'd never ^Dsell.
