Well I lived in a town way down south by the name of Owensboro

                 D                           G               D
Well, we rise up early in the morning and we work all day real hard
           Bm  G           D/F#  G           D/F#  A     D
To buy our little meat and bread   buy sugar tea     and lard

                       D                              G             D
Well our children they grow grow up unlearned with no time to go to school
        Bm  G               D/F#  G                D/F#  A     D
Almost before they learn to walk     they learn to spin    and spool


Instrumental - play the chords of the verse once through

                   D                           G                D
Well, the folks in town they dress so fine and spend their money free
                      Bm  G             D/F#  G             D/F#  A       D
But they would hardly look  at a factory hand    who dresses like    you or me
                   D                                           G              D
Would you let them wear their watches fine let them wear their gems and pearly strings
              Bm  G              D/F#  G                 D/F#  A             D
But when that day   of judgement comes   they'll have to share   their pretty things
              Bm  G              D/F#  G                 D/F#  A             D
But when that day   of judgement comes   they'll have to share   their pretty things

Outro Bm  G  D/F#  G  D/F#  A  D
