C I TURNED YOUR HOLE CARD F UPSIDE C DOWN
I CAUGHT YOU CHEATIN AND D RUNNING G AROUND
THERE'S A SMILE UPON YOUR FACE
WHILE AN C OTHER TAKES MY A PLACE
AND NOW AT Dm LAST DEAR THE G TRUTH I'ÎVE C FOUND
BABE THERE'S A GREEN LIGHT YOUR FREE TO GO
YOU TAKE THE HIGH ROAD I'LL TAKE THE LOW
HERE'S YOUR COAT AND SHOES AND DON'T FORGET YOUR BLUES
YOUR OWN CANOE YOU'LL HAVE TO ROW
BABE THERE'S A GREEN LIGHT SHIFT YOUR GEARS
I KNOW YOU FOOL ME FOR ALL THESE YEARS
ILL HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH, AND I'LL FORGET YOU BY AND BY
AND THERE'LL BE LAUGHTER INSTEAD OF TEARS
BABE THERE'S A GREEN LIGHT KICK UP YOUR HEELS
THERE'LL COME A DAY YOU'LL KNOW HOW IT FEELS
TO HAVE YOUR ACES TRUMPED, AND BE TAKE FOR A CHUMP
NOW THERE'S A GREEN LIGHT SO SPIN YOUR WHEELS
