[Intro]
Em D G A G
[Chorus]
Em D G A It's cold as a well in the Cincinnati jail D G C D I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody
[Verse 1]
G C D G D7 Shouldn't have drunk that wine it messed up my country mind G C Am7 D But I didn't know that pretty gal wasn't free not free G C D G D And someone called the law and I had a southern drawl C D G The first one they locked up you're right was me
[Chorus]
Em D G A Now it's cold as a well in the Cincinnati jail D G C D I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody
[Verse 2]
G C D7 G D I heard a lot about that great mid western town G C Am D7 So I thought I'd better go and look around look around G C D G D Couldn't find me no job and my kind just don't rob C D G But they don't want no southern bums around
[Chorus]
Em D G A And it's cold as a well in the Cincinnati jail D G C D I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody
[Verse 3]
G C D G C Lord an Appalachian boy ain't never known much joy G C Am7 D But I was better off in my Blueridge Mountain home sweet home G C D G D I could see the light of day I could while the time away C D G On the mornin' the government gave me to live on
[Out-Chorus]
Em D G A Oh it's cold as a well in the Cincinnati jail D G C D G I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody
