[Verse 1]
G# G#7 C# D#
As I walked out one mornin' in the Alabama chill,
C# G# D#
I saw some old friends hangin' from a tree on Hobie's Hill.
C# G# C#
By their tattered legs they dangled drippin' down along the spine.
C# G# C# D# G#
It was old George Gudger's overalls a-drying on the line.
[Verse 2]
G# G#7 C# D#
George Gudger, he's an honest cuss, and he loves to work his land.
C# G# D#
And I'd long admired his overalls that I held there in my hand.
C# G# C#
My brand new pair was stiffer than a starched-up Sunday suit.
C# G# C# D# G#
But his could walk around by their selves and plow the corn to boot!
[Bridge]
A#7 D# F7
Now the knees looked almost bloody from the red Hale County clay.
A# D# Cm7 F7
George Gudger's debts and prayers had kept him kneelin' down all day.
C# G# G#7 C#
Old George owes me money, but I owe him my respect.
C# G# C# D# G#
And if his overalls will fit me, Boys, I'll forget about his debt.
[Instrumental]
G# C# G# D# G#
[Verse 3 ]
G# G#7 C# D#
I stepped in to them big old legs like fallin' down a mine.
C# G# D#
Then I heard a ragged chuckle, and there stood old George behind.
C# G# C#
F smile of old tobacco juice just tricklin' down agin.
C# G# C# D# G#
He says, "You might as well try walkin' round in someone else's skin
[Verse 4]
G# G#7 C# D#
"But son, if you like them old friends of mine so much, I guess I can let 'em go
C# G# D#
Had to lend 'em to me wife last year, while she's carry'n Little Joe.
C# G# G#7 C#
She bent down in the fields one day and split that tired old seam
C# G# C# D# G#
And now she gone and beat 'em half to death on that rock there by the stream'
[Bridge]
A#7 D# F7
Yeah the knees looked almost bloody from the red Hale County clay.
A#7 D# Cm7 F7
George Gudger's debts and prayers had kept him kneelin' down all day
C# G# G#7 C#
You know I walked just like a drunken man, they dang near made me fall.
C# G# C# D# G#
They kept tryin' to steer me back towards Gudger's place, Cuz they still Old George's overalls!
[Verse 5]
G# G#7 C# D#
At home before the mirror I seemed to be a different man,
C# G# D#
In my mind they kept seein' his farmed out patch o' land.
C# G# C#
So I took him back his overalls and a weeks supply of food,
C# G# C# D# G#
I also left my brand new pair and I sneaked home in the nude.
