I rolled into [G] Connersville in 1961 [D] with what was left of my last [A] army pay.
[D] I had a letter with me [G] from a buddy [D] living there.
He said, you [G] stop and see me [A] if you're ever up [D] this way.
Need I say he was surprised [G] to find me at [D] his door with what I guess you call a silly [A] grin.
[D] He said, where are you headed?
[G] And I said, I'm [D] headed here.
His mama said, [G] don't stand there, you'll [A] catch cold, just come [D] on in.
They gave me room and board, I [G] paid a very [D] modest fee.
Then I went looking for a place [A] to play.
If [D] you've ever had a hat and [G] didn't wear one, then [D] you'll know
the way a [G] country singer [A] made a living in [D] those days.
The menu printed on the window [G] of the [D] bar and grill.
The man said, we're too small to [A] have a band.
[D] I said, well I'll just pick and [G] sing and pass my hat [D] a while.
He said, go [G] right ahead,
you [A] just do the best [D] you can.
Well, after seven hours of [G] cheating hard and wild [D] with flour,
I had me seven dollars [A] eighty cents.
[D] I gave it to a waitress who [G] was gonna [D] have a baby.
She said she [G] needed just that much [A] to help her pay [D] the rent.
[E]
Later on I formed a band [A] and really
hit [E] the big time.
Ten bucks a night for working at [B] the pine.
[E] We worked the winter gardens and [A] some
other [E] choice nice spots.
Looking back, [A] I'll have to say [B] those were the good [E] old times.
Summer came and me and old [A] Mitch Mitchell fished [E] wide river and caught those big old juicy
channel [B] cats.
[E] Sometimes when I'm riding on [A] a jet plane going [E] somewhere,
I get to thinking [A] that I'd like [B] to live a life [E] like that.
So thank you, Connersville,
and thanks [A] to you old [E] Indiana.
You took me in when I knew the [B] slimmer days.
[E] I won't forget you and I hope [A] that you will not [E] forget me.
And you folks stop [A] and see me if [B] you're ever down [E] this way.
