Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I'd like to tell you
'bout my home town
But it's awfully [D]hard to
explain to a stranger
[C]It's been a year since I went down
To the place that [D]I was born and raised,
sir, [Am]oh.
[D]I gotta

[Verse 2]
[C]make it rich I'm getting [F]tired
of digging ditches back [D]on the farm
I got a [G]girl I wanna marry and I
know that [C]she loves me
Yes, I'm ready for work,
I got my [F]shirt sleeves rolled up [D]around my arms
I got a [G]chance to make it rich
in a textile fact[C]ory.

[Verse 3]
Well, my [C]papa was a poor man but always
did the best [D]he could
And he whipped [G]my behind whenever
I wasn't [C]good
There were six of us children
in my fam[D]ily
Mmm [G]and not a single one of us
has ever learned how [C]to read.

[Verse 4]
Well, I'm [F]really not complaining,
my parents were the best [C]you could have
Well, I love [D]my mama and I really
respected [G]my dad.

[Verse 5]
Well, let me tell you that [C]every Sunday morning we
would dress in our Sunday [D]clothes
And we would [G]listen to a sermon from the
preacher about [C]our good Lord
Well, the preacher said: 'Child,
be thankful for the food [D]you eat'
[G]But my tastes are getting bigger,
I think I'll be traveling [C]East.
[G]You know I

[Verse 6]
gotta make it rich,
I'm getting tired of digging ditches back [D]on the farm
I got a [G]girl I wanna marry and I
know that she [C]loves me
Yes, I'm ready for work,
I got my [F]sleeves rolled up [D]around my arms
I got a [G]chance to make it rich
in a textile fact[C]ory.

[Verse 7]
Well, now [F]listen here brother if
you think you've got [C]it bad
Mmm well, [D]what do you think
about the life I've [G]had?

[Verse 8]
Well, [C]my father said to me: 'Son,
you know you've got to earn [D]your keep'
So I've been [G]working from sun
up to sun down since I was [C]thirteen
Well, my father said: 'Boy,
be thankful got a place [D]to sleep'
But I've been [G]sleeping awful restless
and I think I'll be moving [C]East.
[G]You know I gotta

[Verse 9]

I got my [F]sleeves rolled up [D]around my arms
I got a [G]chance to make it rich
in a textile fact[C]ory.

[Verse 10]

I'm getting tired of digging ditches back [D]on the farm
I got a [G]girl I wanna marry and I

Yes, I'm ready for work,
I got my [F]sleeves rolled up [D]around my arms
I got a [G]chance to make it rich
in a textile factory.
