Lord I've been hanging out of town, in that low down rain
C F G7 C
Watching good time Charlie friend, whos' driving me insane

Down on shady Charlotte Street, the green lights look red

Them thin dime, hard time, hello Church St.Blues
C F G7 C
Found myself a picker friend, to read yesterdays news

Folded up page 21 and stuck it in my shoes
C F G7 C
Gave them nickels to the poor, my good turn for the day
