I'll let her go cheap,
                      G
Tho' she's pretty to look at,

She's laid here beside me
                 C
On cold winter nights.
                  G7
She's got me in trouble
                   G7
She's won me some fights,

We both came out all right! 

                  C
She knows every sad song

That Hank ever wrote.

And she'll take you on home.

'Bout junk yards and jails
                  G

And a love that's gone wrong.

On freight trains and trucks
                       G7
Hung 'round pawn shop windows

When we've been down on our luck
 N.C
And we've been down on our luck!

Keep her out of the rain.
                   G
It's funny you're askin'...

I never gave her a name.

With her sweet lovin' songs

When the ladies were gone.

Been doggin' our tale.
