Welfare Line The Highwaymen
The Highwaymen - Welfare Line
[D]Well now, boys I've been to Bethlehem
Rode there on a big steam [G]train
Lost two fingers in the [D]steel wheels
And I ain't goin' [A]back [D]again.
[D]I fought for my country
Lord knows I did my [G]best
Crawlin' cross some [D]foreign field
They pinned a [A]ribbon to my [D]chest.
Chorus:
So [G]pass around the bottle boys
Let's talk about old [D]times
Night's rollin' in, it's cold as sin
[A]Here on the Welfare [D]Line.
[D]Served on a Georgia road gang
Couldn't pay the debts I [G]owed
Cause I ain't made of [D]silver
And I ain't ever [A]seen no [D]gold.
[D]I still remember Rachel
Soft as a velvet [G]gown
They laid her in a [D]pauper's grave
On the other [A]side of [D]town.
Chorus:
[D] [G] [D] [A] [D]
Now [D]some folks are born to money
You know I wish 'em [G]well
If the Devil should ever [D]want my soul
I swear I'd [A]never [D]sell.
