Cold iron shackles, ball and chain.
Drink all day and rock all night.
I run into Charlie Fog.

Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train.
The law come to get you if you don't walk right.
Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog.
C (x32010@1)         Co7      Dm7         C7You (x32310@1)know you bound to wind up dead
Got a letter this mornin', baby and all it read:

Rich man step on my poor head.
I dropped four flights and cracked my spine.
I woke up feelin' mean.

When you get back, you better butter my bread.
Honey, come quick with the iodine.
I went down to play the slot machine.
         Co7    Dm7          C7Well (x32310@1)you know it's like I said:
Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed.
The wheels turned around and the letters read,
