Unwed Fathers
by John Prine
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) She sits there waiting, in a family way
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) 'Goodbye brother, Tell Mom I love her'
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) 'Tell all the others, I'll write someday'
Chorus:
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
D (xx0232@1) kept undercovers, like some bad dream
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) They run like water, through a mountain stream
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) In a cold and grey town, a nurse say's 'Lay down'
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) 'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home'
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) Someones children, out having children
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) in a grey stone building, all al-one
(Chorus)
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) Some where else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) She bows her head down, humming lullabys
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) 'Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever'
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) 'he just don't live here, but you've got his eyes'
(Chorus)
