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
