[A] This is a song I had back before most of y'all were born.
This is off a, Sammy Albin's talking about a while ago
called Fire on a Mountain.
It's called [D] Trudy.
[Am] Call up Trudy [D] on [Em] the telephone.
[Bm] [D] Send her a letter [A] in the mail.
[C#] [A] Tell her I'm hung up counting dollars.
[E] Go ahead.
[A] And they won't let me out of this [F#m] jail
unless she asks [D] how I'm a fair.
[Bm]
Tell her I'm just about to lose [A] my mind.
Worried about old John Lee Walker
[E] and the girl I left [Am] behind.
Now John Lee Walker [D] was a cart mechanic.
[Em] [D] Had a hand for trouble and an eye [Em] for cash.
Luckiest man in [E] Dallas County.
Had a gold watch chain and a black [Em] mustache.
Could have switched a red knife in his left [D] heel pocket.
[E] [D]
Had a .44
hog leg up under [Em] his coat.
Cut you down in a New [E] York minute.
If they caught you cheating, that was all [D] she [C] wrote.
[D] So call up Trudy on the telephone.
Send her a letter in the [A] mail.
Tell her I'm hung up counting dollars.
[E]
And they won't let me [A] out of this jail
unless she asks [D] how I'm a fair.
Tell her I'm just about to lose [A] my mind.
Worried about old John Lee Walker
[E] and the girl I left [C] behind.
[Am] Well, I just [E] got to town last [D] Friday evening.
I sure as hell didn't [A] mean to stay.
[Em] I was on my way back to [E] Louisiana.
I had a powerful thirst and [A] six months to pay.
I met a brockside blonde in a bar [D] on Leeville.
[F#] I was flying high and I was feeling [Em] mean.
[A] Poured down a bottle and a half [E] of red eye.
Dropped $35 in the slot [A] machine
and the boys in the back was a dealing [D] seven card.
I sat down and won me a hundred [A] and ten.
[D] [A] I was raking in chips like Grant [E] took a rich man.
[A] [E] If the John Lee come, I [A] strolled in.
He read out the table like a [D] 707.
[Am]
[E] [D] Pretty soon he done won all of [Em] my bread.
[Dm]
[E] I accused him of cheating and he reached for a pistol.
I grabbed a chair and I went outside to his [A] head
and I took off running like [D] a [E] motorcycle.
[D] I heard the bullets whining [A] inside me and well.
Took half the cops in [E] Dallas County
just to put one cool ass boy in [Am] jail.
So I called up Judy [D] on the [G] telephone.
[D] Sent her a letter in [A] the mail.
Tell her I'm hung up in Dallas
[E] and [D] they [A] won't let me out of this jail
and if she ask how [D] I'm a fairin'
tell her I'm just about [A] to lose my mind.
Worried about old [E] John Lee Walker
and [A] the girl I left behind.
Call up Judy [Am] on [D] the telephone.
Sent her a letter in the [A] mail.

Worried about old John [E] Lee Walker
and the girl I left [C] behind.
