 In worn out shoes

He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
G                    A7sus4 A7
 Throughout the South
   D                       D/C#              Bm         D/A

 For drinks and tips
    D                       D/C#                Bm     D/A
But most of the time I spend   behind these county bars
G                    A7sus4 A7
 Cause I drinks a bit

[Refrain (5)]
---------------------
G             D        F#7             Bm  D/A
 He shook his head and as he shook his head

      I heard someone ask please
