A5 Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose A5 Welfare Department they wouldn’t give him no clothes A5 He asked poor Howard where can I go A5 Howard said there’s only one place I know D A5 Sam said tell me quick man I got to run E Ol’ Howard just pointed with his gun A5 And said that way down on Highway 61

A5 Now the rovin’ gambler he was very bored A5 He was tryin’ to create a next world war A5 He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor A5 He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before D A5 But yes I think it can be very easily done E We’ll just put some bleachers out in the sun A5 And have it on Highway 61
