Hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm

I was New York City bound

Somehow along the way

Sally done me down and dirty

Really put that hurting on me

D                                A

Blew my mind and she cooked my goose

And stomped my Georgia soul into that West Virginia clay

With my hat in my hand

A7                 D
A humming some old worn out song

Like a man whose mind is gone

Haa, huh-huh-huh

Haa, huh-huh-huh
