D C G D

I used to work for the New Jersey Railroad

D C G D

I got laid off 'cause the times weren't good

G D Bm G

My unemployment is sixty-five dollars

C G C Bm D

Sixty-five dollars don't buy what it should

D C G D

I have a-a weakness for 80-proof whiskey

D C G D

Lately, I'm drinking a bottle every day

G D

Messing my mind up

A Bm A G

Lord, it's wrecking my body

C G C G D

But it helps make those long, lonely hours slip away

G D

I used to be a railroad man

C G D

And I'm damn proud of it, too

G D

I did more work in a working day

C G D

Than any two men could do

G D A

Foreman said I drink too much

Bm A G

I said that's just half-way true

C G

I drink half as much as my daddy did

C G D

And twice as much as you

D C G D

I used to have me a good looking woman

D C

Loved her and kept her

G D

And called her my own

G D Bm A G

She started packing when I started drinking

C G

Now I'm drunk and I'm busty

C G D

And I'm angry all alone

G D

I used to be a railroad man

C G D

And I'm damn proud of it, too

G D

I did more work in a working day

C G D

Than any two men could do

G D A

Foreman said I drink too much

Bm A G

And at last I know it's true

C G

But I'm too far gone to change now

C G D

Ain't nothing I can do
