[Verse 1]
E E7 A B
As I walked out one mornin' in the Alabama chill,
A E B
I saw some old friends hangin' from a tree on Hobie's Hill.
A E A
By their tattered legs they dangled drippin' down along the spine.
A E A B E
It was old George Gudger's overalls a-drying on the line.
[Verse 2]
E E7 A B
George Gudger, he's an honest cuss, and he loves to work his land.
A E B
And I'd long admired his overalls that I held there in my hand.
A E A
My brand new pair was stiffer than a starched-up Sunday suit.
A E A B E
But his could walk around by their selves and plow the corn to boot!
[Bridge]
F#7 B C#7
Now the knees looked almost bloody from the red Hale County clay.
F# B G#m7 C#7
George Gudger's debts and prayers had kept him kneelin' down all day.
A E E7 A
Old George owes me money, but I owe him my respect.
A E A B E
And if his overalls will fit me, Boys, I'll forget about his debt.
[Instrumental]
E A E B E
[Verse 3 ]
E E7 A B
I stepped in to them big old legs like fallin' down a mine.
A E B
Then I heard a ragged chuckle, and there stood old George behind.
A E A
C# smile of old tobacco juice just tricklin' down agin.
A E A B E
He says, "You might as well try walkin' round in someone else's skin
[Verse 4]
E E7 A B
"But son, if you like them old friends of mine so much, I guess I can let 'em go
A E B
Had to lend 'em to me wife last year, while she's carry'n Little Joe.
A E E7 A
She bent down in the fields one day and split that tired old seam
A E A B E
And now she gone and beat 'em half to death on that rock there by the stream'
[Bridge]
F#7 B C#7
Yeah the knees looked almost bloody from the red Hale County clay.
F#7 B G#m7 C#7
George Gudger's debts and prayers had kept him kneelin' down all day
A E E7 A
You know I walked just like a drunken man, they dang near made me fall.
A E A B E
They kept tryin' to steer me back towards Gudger's place, Cuz they still Old George's overalls!
[Verse 5]
E E7 A B
At home before the mirror I seemed to be a different man,
A E B
In my mind they kept seein' his farmed out patch o' land.
A E A
So I took him back his overalls and a weeks supply of food,
A E A B E
I also left my brand new pair and I sneaked home in the nude.
