C D

Helen’s got a good job at Kroger’s

F G C

Handlin’ people’s money all day long

C D

Maybe she will give me a few dollars

F G C

Just enough to get my body stoned

Cause if whiskey sold for 30 cents a gallon

Buddy , I couldn’t buy a quart

I guess I’ll have to go on home to Helen

But Helen may not want me anymore

Chorus:

F G C

Lord I hate to do this to Helen

F G C

Cause Helen loves me when nobody don’t

F G C

But if I keep on playin’ with her feelin’s

F G C

I got a feelin’, someday she won’t

Key Change to D

D E

She said come on it, you’re lookin’ thinner

G A D

I’ve never seen you this bad off before

D E

I shouted “Shee” and set myself to dinner

G A D

Then we quietly closed the bedroom door

Next mornin’ I found a note on the table

With a big $10 bill pinned inside

I hope and pray someday you’ll whip that devil

And be the kind of man you were last night
