Barefoot On A Gravel Road © by: Verne Garrison

(E) No shirt, no shoes, sun- tanned in bib over-(A) alls

Tall timber, rushing streams, my home has it (E)all

My summer job, keep the garden (B7) hoed

Just a lad, barefoot on a gravel (E) road

(E)Times were simple way back (A) then

Do your chores early, then do them (E) again

And everbody carried his own (B7) load

Just a lad, barefoot on a gravel (E) road

(E) No worry, the big war was far (A) away

My uncles, they fought, so I’d have (E) today

Thanks to the bravery others (B7) showed

So I could be barefoot on a gravel (E) road

(E) I’ve made a lot of foot-prints, and had my (A) fill

Many times I have passed this cemetery (E) hill

The wagon is moving again, and this time I am the (B7) load

A lad, no longer barefoot on a gravel (E) road.
