[Nelson]

Well, now boys, I've been to Bethlehem
|
Rode there on a big steam train
|
Lost two fingers in the steel mills
|
And I ain't goin' back again
|
|
[Cash]
|
I fought for my country
|
Lord knows, I did my best
|
Crawlin' 'cross some foreign field
|
They pinned a ribbon to my chest
|
|
[All]
|
So, pass around the bottle, boys, let's talk about old times
|
Like rollin' in this bowl of sin, here on the welfare line
|
|
[Nelson]
|
Served on the Georgia Road Gang
|
Couldn't pay the debts I owe
|
'Cause I'm not made of silver
|
And I ain't never seen no gold
|
|
[Cash]
|
I still remember Rachael
|
Soft as a velvet gown
|
They laid her in the pauper's grave
|
On the other side of town
|
|
[All]
|
So, pass around the bottle, boys, let's talk about old times
|
Like rollin' in this bowl of sin, here on the welfare line
|
|
[Jennings]
|
I know some folks are born of money
|
You know I wish them well
|
If the devil would ever want my soul
|
I swear I'd never sell
|
|
[All]
|
So, pass around the bottle, boys, let's talk about old times
|
Like rollin' in this bowl of sin, here on the welfare line
|
Pass around the bottle, boys, let's talk about old times
|
Like rollin' in this bowl of sin, here on the welfare line
