[Verse 1]
B B7 E F#
As I walked out one mornin' in the Alabama chill,
E B F#
I saw some old friends hangin' from a tree on Hobie's Hill.
E B E
By their tattered legs they dangled drippin' down along the spine.
E B E F# B
It was old George Gudger's overalls a-drying on the line.
[Verse 2]
B B7 E F#
George Gudger, he's an honest cuss, and he loves to work his land.
E B F#
And I'd long admired his overalls that I held there in my hand.
E B E
My brand new pair was stiffer than a starched-up Sunday suit.
E B E F# B
But his could walk around by their selves and plow the corn to boot!
[Bridge]
C#7 F# G#7
Now the knees looked almost bloody from the red Hale County clay.
C# F# D#m7 G#7
George Gudger's debts and prayers had kept him kneelin' down all day.
E B B7 E
Old George owes me money, but I owe him my respect.
E B E F# B
And if his overalls will fit me, Boys, I'll forget about his debt.
[Instrumental]
B E B F# B
[Verse 3 ]
B B7 E F#
I stepped in to them big old legs like fallin' down a mine.
E B F#
Then I heard a ragged chuckle, and there stood old George behind.
E B E
G# smile of old tobacco juice just tricklin' down agin.
E B E F# B
He says, "You might as well try walkin' round in someone else's skin
[Verse 4]
B B7 E F#
"But son, if you like them old friends of mine so much, I guess I can let 'em go
E B F#
Had to lend 'em to me wife last year, while she's carry'n Little Joe.
E B B7 E
She bent down in the fields one day and split that tired old seam
E B E F# B
And now she gone and beat 'em half to death on that rock there by the stream'
[Bridge]
C#7 F# G#7
Yeah the knees looked almost bloody from the red Hale County clay.
C#7 F# D#m7 G#7
George Gudger's debts and prayers had kept him kneelin' down all day
E B B7 E
You know I walked just like a drunken man, they dang near made me fall.
E B E F# B
They kept tryin' to steer me back towards Gudger's place, Cuz they still Old George's overalls!
[Verse 5]
B B7 E F#
At home before the mirror I seemed to be a different man,
E B F#
In my mind they kept seein' his farmed out patch o' land.
E B E
So I took him back his overalls and a weeks supply of food,
E B E F# B
I also left my brand new pair and I sneaked home in the nude.
