[Verse 1]
C                                 F                 C
Laying around this little town smoking those nice cigars
                                D             G
waiting for a handout just to catch an empty car
 C                                              F
but just as a freight train came rolling by, my wait was all in vain
          C             Am     G           D           G                C
back off, back off, you dirty bum and get yourself the next freight train

[Chorus]
C                                        F                         C
so you wanna be a little friend of mine, bring it with you when you come
                                 D                          G
laying around this little town, with a head chuck full of rum
        C              Bb
I came downtown, for to get a little sap
     Am                         Ab
boy, whatchya aint sitting on another man’s lap
         C           Am   G           D                  G           C
If you wanna be a little friend of mine, bring it with you when you come

[Verse 2]
C                                 F          C
well they put me off in Texas, a place i do love
                                 D             G
wide open spaces around me, the moon and stars above
 C                                    F
but nobody seems to want me now, or lend me no helping hand
 C                 Am     G           D            G          C
im on my way, Im leaving today, I’m headed for the promised land

[Chorus]
C                                        F                         C

                                 D                          G
