[Verse 1]
A Bm7 Many years ago when my daddy died E7 I caught myself a freight train and my mama cried A Bm7 Looking back it all looks like a marathon E7 A And it started all with an E chord I learned from Uncle John
[Verse 2]
A Bm7 Now John had a lot of gumption and he gave me some E7 And he taught me "Rubber Dolly" and a guitar run A Bm7 A river bank in those days wadn't my love, boo E7 A But he shared his kitchen table and his family too
[Verse 3]
A Bm7 Now, right here and now it's thanks to Uncle John E7 To Claudia, Doug, Norman, Joe and Lillian A Bm7 Now John Burke was really not my uncle but we were kin E7 A 'Cause he shared his home and family and he took me in
