CNobody knows how blue I am
Alone and broke in G7Birmingham
G7Washin' dishes for a bite to eat
Sleepin' nights on a Crundown street
CMy only shoes are paper thin
I’ve hawked my clothes everyFwhere I've been
I’m down to nothin' and Chere I am
G7Alone and broke in CBirmingham
CWhy did I leave a good home town
To ride the freights and G7bum around
G7The girl that's waiting is mighty sweet
But I can't wait till I'm Con my feet
CDown on my luck but I still got my pride
Can't find a job but oh Fhow I've tried
Ain't got the price of a Ctelegram
G7Alone and broke in CBirmingham
CI've heard a thousand no's and they all hurt
Who wants a man in a G7dirty shirt
G7I can't keep going with this heavy load
Sometimes I think it's the Cend of the road
CA man's got hope though he's not got a dime
He keeps a livin' just a Fbreath at a time
I can't wait till I'm Cout of this jam
G7Alone and broke in CBirmingham
G7Alone and broke in CBirmingham
