Verse 1:
D MajorD
Late hours at night, trying to play my hand

Oh Lord, in my girlish days

Verse 2:
    D MajorD
My mama cried, papa did, too
  G+G
Oh, daughter, what a shame on you

I didn't know no better
  A augmentedA          D MajorD  A augmentedA
Oh Lord, in my girlish days


Verse 3:
       D MajorD
I flagged a train, didn't have a dime
      G+G
Trying to run away from that home of mine

Oh Lord, in my girlish days


Verse 4:
      D MajorD
I hit the highway, caught me a truck

Nineteen and seventeen, when the winter was tough

Oh Lord, in my girlish days

All of my playmates is not surprised,

And I still got my girlish ways
