Alone And Broke In Birmingham

C Nobody knows how blue I am G7 Alone and broke in Birmingham G7 Washin' dishes for a bite to eat C Sleepin' nights on a rundown street C My only shoes are paper thin F Iâ??ve hawked my clothes everywhere I've been C Iâ??m down to nothin' and here I am G7 C Alone and broke in Birmingham C Why did I leave a good home town G7 To ride the freights and bum around G7 The girl that's waiting is mighty sweet C But I can't wait till I'm on my feet C Down on my luck but I still got my pride F Can't find a job but oh how I've tried C Ain't got the price of a telegram G7 C Alone and broke in Birmingham C I've heard a thousand no's and they all hurt G7 Who wants a man in a dirty shirt G7 I can't keep going with this heavy load C Sometimes I think it's the end of the road C A man's got hope though he's not got a dime F He keeps a livin' just a breath at a time C I can't wait till I'm out of this jam G7 C Alone and broke in Birmingham G7 C Alone and broke in Birmingham
