_ _ _ [C] _ _ I _ _ _ was _ born down South Kentucky. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ A long stretch howler I called [G] my home,
_ _ _ Till my [F] mama picked me,
_ Boy don't [C] you run,
_ _ _ _ My [G] mama picked [C] [F] me,
Oh boy [Bb] don't [C] you run. _ _ _ _ _
When I left that howler I was just a boy,
Flat broken, busted and helping to make it on [F] my own,
_ Hell I couldn't go [C] back home no more,
_ _ _ I could get [G] that train,
_ [F] It mauled me long and [C] some saw, _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] And I'm heading up to Detroit on a freight train,
Mama I'm a [Eb] finally be [C] a man,
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[F] I've been working seven days,
Burying that Chevrolet,
I'm [Ab] doing the [C] best I can,
_ _ _ _ [F]
And I met me a little city girl,
And I'm gonna [C] make her my crown, _ _ _ _
[G] Oh but don't worry mama,
[F] I ain't lost my [Eb] heart [C] scratch cry, _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Twenty years have passed now since I hit the road,
I can hear the whistle,
Well hell the [Cm] dogwood ain't calling [Fm] me home,
_ _ [F] Oh but mama she's [C] long gone,
_ _ _ _ [G] And I can hear old Hank,
Yeah he [F] gonna maul me that lonesome [C] whistle saw, _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] And I'm heading up to Detroit on a freight train,
Mama I'm a [Eb] finally be [C] a man,
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[F] I've been working seven days,

[F] And I met me a little city girl,
And I'm gonna [Fm] make [C] her my bride,
_ _ [Cm] _ _
