[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
[Interlude]

[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
