[Intro]
D Am C G
[Verse]
C G D G
I walked all the way from East Saint Louis
D Am C G
I never had but that one, one thin dime
C G D G
I laid my head in a New York woman's lap
Am C G
She laid her little cute head in mine
C G D G
She tried to make me believe by the rattlings of her tongue
Am C G
That the sun would never, never shine
G C G D G Am C G
C G
I tried to see you in the spring
D G
When the bluebird's almost ready to sing
Am C G
Far thee, honey, fare thee well
C G
You if can't shake like a cannon ball
D G
Suffer alone and do the Georgia crawl
Am C G
Fare thee, honey, fare thee well
C G D G
And I laid my head in a barroom door
Am C G
And now I can't get drunk no more
C G
Now I tried to see you in the fall
D G
You didn't have no man at all
Am C G
Far thee, honey, fare thee well
C G D G
And I walked all the way back to East Saint Louis
Am C G
I never had but that one thin dime
Am C G
Never had but that one thin dime
