            The Highwaymen - Welfare Line

D
Well now, boys I've been to Bethlehem
                          G
Rode there on a big steam train
                        D
Lost two fingers in the steel wheels
                  A    D
And I ain't goin' back again.

D
I fought for my country
                    G
Lord knows I did my best
                    D
Crawlin' cross some foreign field
              A            D
They pinned a ribbon to my chest.

Chorus:
   G
So pass around the bottle boys 
                     D
Let's talk about old times
Night's rollin' in, it's cold as sin A D Here on the Welfare Line. D Served on a Georgia road gang G Couldn't pay the debts I owed D Cause I ain't made of silver A D And I ain't ever seen no gold. D I still remember Rachel G Soft as a velvet gown D They laid her in a pauper's grave A D On the other side of town. Chorus: D G D A D D Now some folks are born to money G You know I wish 'em well D If the Devil should ever want my soul A D I swear I'd never sell. Chorus:
