_ _ _ _ _ _
_ I used to hear an old-timey group back [C] in the [N] days of the good old 78 records called
the Dixie Cloudhoppers.
_ And they did a little song one time called Gimme Back My Fifteen Cents.
It's a song about an old boy _ _ _ _ that decided he's going to leave home and learn how to travel.
He was a hillbilly just like Doc [G#] Watson was when he first came to New York, and still
is [C] for that matter. _
And _ _ _ well, _ [N] he met that pretty little girl and got in trouble.
I'll let the song play for you. _
_ _ _ The rest of it, I'll tell you.
_ [A] _ _
[F] Let me find the right harpoon, Jack.
I might take a notion to tingle it [G] two, three, four on this. _ _ _ _
[G#] I need the cherry flavored one.
Let me [G] see if I can find it right.
_ _ _ [C] _
_ That's it.
That's the cherry flavored [Bm] right there.
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Met some good old friends around here a while ago.
Made me feel pretty good, Jack.
You need some of the boys from the good old days.

I left my home in Tennessee, and I thought [G] I'd [Fm] learn to travel.
[C] But then I [G] met [A] with a pretty [F] little girl, and soon [C] we played the devil.
Oh, I met a pretty little girl. _ _

_ _ _ So I gave _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] 15 cents to the preacher man [C] and a dollar [F] for the paper.
[C] And dear old [A] mother-in-law [F] moved in and bought [C] a water taper.
I put a tin for her one day and she called me [F] a joker.
[C] And my old sow got [A] mad [F] at me and [G] hit me [C] with the bolt.
_ Give me back my 15 [G] cents, give me [C] back my money.
Give [G] me back [A] my 15 [F] cents and I'll [G] go [C] home to my man. _

_ _ Well I worked in town and I worked on the farm but there was no [F] way to sue them.
[C] Their boots had died [A] by the year and [F] they didn't want [G] their one or [C] two.
I'm tired of looking at my mother-in-law.
I'd like [F] to stay in the granite, [C] I want to live in the [A] state of [F] Arkansas and go [G] back [C] home to my man.
Give me back my [G] 15 cents, give me [C] back my money.
Give [Em] me back [Am] my 15 [G] cents and I'll go [C] home to my man. _ _ _

_ _ _ Anyway, _
_ _ _ _ _ [N]
the fellow Jimmy Jett over next to Raleigh wrote a mighty fine train [C#m] song that I kind of like.
It's on an album, _ _ _ _ [N] a bluegrass album that I did called Ride the Midnight Train. _
_ _ And this train song is called The Green Hill Trussle, _ I think is what he wrote it.
Somehow I got a misunderstanding off of his page, it's not a Green Hill [E] Trussle. _
I don't know whether he ever forgave me or not, he said he [A] did.
_ [E] Anyway, _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm the man that's getting in [E] trouble tonight, huh? _ _ _
