Box Car Willie

Box Car Willie - Lefty Left Us Lonely guitar chord

LEFTY LEFT US LONELY

BOXCAR WILLIE

CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: A/:PLAY: G

(G) Now Lefty came from Texas

At least that what they (G7) say

He (C) cut a record down in Dallas

It really got 'im on his way

(D7) You could hear 'im on ev'ry jukebox

In ev'ry town and state

Ev'ry DJ played - Always (G) Late.

Now Lefty wasn't no saint

He didn't claim to be

He could sing a country song

Send cold chills through me

Like the son of a Saginaw fisherman

He sang --- in Saginaw, Michigan

If (C) you got money, honey, I've got the time

When he (G) sang that song, well, he nearly blew my mind

I'd walk for miles, cry or (D7) smile, for my (G) mama and (C) daddy

And it (G) tears me up to (D7) see a grown man (G) cry.

Lefty left us lonely

He left before his time

But I can see 'im singin' now to an angel

At that Opry in the sky

I'm just an old, old man a-lookin' for fun

Why, oh! why, do you do me this way?

If you got money, honey, I've got the time

When he sang that song, well, he nearly blew my mind

I'd walk for miles, cry or smile, for my mama and daddy

Oh! why, oh! why, oh! why, do you do me this way?

TAG: Yeah! Oh! why, oh! why, oh! why, do you do me this way?
