^GmHangin around with the rest of the riff raff ^GmDown at the pool hall on Main Street ^GmWearin a red bandanna and a sweaty ol' straw hat ^GmThe union hall overall dirty back jeans

^C7One half stupid and the other half dumb ^D7Born to live and die in a sharecropper's slum ^N.C.People said ^N.C.The boy's born to be a bum^Gm
