[Verse]
Bm I stood in line and left my name A Bm Took about six hours or so Bm Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game A Bm Said they'd let me know Em I put in my time till the pocono line D Em Shut down two years ago Bm I was staying at the mission till I met Marie A Bm A Bm Now I can't stay there no more
[Verse 2]
Bm Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man A Bm To move some old cars around Bm Maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out A Bm Van and do a little settlin' down Em Aw, but I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride D Em And the junkyard's a pretty good ways Bm That job's about a half week old besides A Bm A Bm It'd be gone now anyway
[Verse 3]
Bm Unemployment said I got no more checks A Bm And they showed me to the hall Bm My brother died in Georgia some time ago A Bm I got no one left to call Em Summer wasn't bad below the bridge D Em A little short on food that's all Bm Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat A Bm A Bm We're headed down into fall
[Verse 4]
Bm I used to play the mouth harp pretty good A Bm Hustled up a little dough Bm But I got drunk and I woke up rolled A Bm A couple of months ago Em They got my harp and they got my dollar D Em Them low life so and so's Bm Harps cost money and I ain't got it A Bm A Bm It's my own fault I suppose
[Verse 5]
Bm The pocono's down but the Chesapeak's runnin' A Bm Two freights everyday Bm If it was just me I'd be headed south A Bm But Marie can't catch no train Em She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby, D Em Says we gotta wait and see Bm In my heart I know it's a little boy A Bm A Bm Hope he don't end up like me
[Verse 6]
Bm Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file A Bm I gotta stand in line again Bm I want to kill him but I just say no A Bm I had enough of that line my friend Em I head back to the bridge, it's getting kinda cold D Em I'm feelin' too low down to lie Bm I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth A Bm Hope she don't break down and cry

[Verse 7]
Bm Marie she didn't wake up this morning A Bm She didn't even try Bm She just rolled over and went to heaven A Bm My little boy safe inside Em I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them D Em Caught a Chesapeake on the fly Bm Marie will know I'm headed south A Bm So's to meet me by and by Bm Marie will know I'm headed south A Bm So's to meet me by and by
