[Am] [Am] [Am]
[Verse 1]
[Am]
I stood in line and left my name, took about six hours or so.
[Am]
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game, said they'd let me know.
[Dm]
I put in my time till the Pocono line, shut down two years ago.
[Am]
I was staying at the mission till I met Marie, now I can't stay there no more.
[Verse 2]
[Am]
Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man to move some old cars around.
[Am]
Maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out Van and do a little settlin' down.
[Dm]
Aw, but I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride and the junkyard's a pretty good ways.
[Am]
That job's about a half week old besides, it'd be gone now anyway.
[Verse 3]
[Am]
Unemployment says I got no more checks and they showed me to the hall.
[Am]
My brother died in Georgia some time ago, I got no one left to call.
[Dm]
Summer wasn't bad below the bridge, a little short on food that's all.
[Am]
Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat, we're headed down into fall.
[Verse 4]
[Am]
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good, I hustled up a little dough.
[Am]
But I got drunk and I woke up rolled a couple of months ago.
[Dm]
They got my harp and they got my dollar them low life so and so.
[Am]
Harps cost money and I ain't got it, it's my own fault I suppose.
[Verse 5]
[Am]
Ah, the Pocono's down but the Chesapeake's runnin' two freights everyday.
[Am]
If it was just me I'd be headed South but Marie can't catch no train.
[Dm]
She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby, says we gotta wait and see.
[Am]
In my heart I know it's a little boy hope he don't end up like me.
[Verse 6]
[Am]
Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file, I gotta stand in line again.
[Am]
I want to kill him but I just say no, I had enough of that line my friend.
[Dm]
I head back to the bridge, it's getting kinda cold, I'm feelin' too low down to lie.
[Am]
I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth, hope she don't break down and cry.
[Verse 7]
[Am]
Marie she didn't wake up this morning, she didn't even try.
[Am]
She just rolled over and went to heaven, my little boy safe inside.
[Dm]
I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them, caught a Chesapeake on the fly.
[Am]
Marie will know I'm headed South, so's to meet me by and by.
[Am]
Ah, Marie will know I'm headed south, so to meet me by and by.
