The Ballad Of White Trash Charlie

by John D. Hale Band

Biography:

If you were to ask the John D. Hale Band to classify their sound, they’d respond by simply saying “its country.” Charming as this response is, it has the potential to be misleading. Blending together their favorite parts of country, Americana , southern rock, and even bluegrass, the John D. Hale Band have crafted their own edgy and raucous sound.

John D. and the boys began playing in earnest in 2005 in support of their debut album, One of a Kind.

The Ballad Of White-Trash Charlie - John D. Hale Band
Capo 2

[Intro]
G D C G G D C D

[Verse]
G D C G
Well, Charlie was a mullet man, had been all his life
G D C D
He had long hair runnin down his back and short hair on the sides
G D C G
He sired fourteen different kids with thirteen different wives
G D C G
Now here''s the story of white-trash Charlie and his s**tty life

[Verse]
G D C G
Well, Charlie lives down by the river in a run-down trailer court
G D C D
He had two rooms in a run-down shack with holes in the floor
G D C G
He had a t-top firebird that he parked out on the lawn
G D C G
But now it just sits on blocks because the motor''s blown

[Chorus]
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - What have you done so wrong?
G D C D
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - You got rocks for a lawn
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - Here comes a tornado
G D C G
Better get the tires up on the roof, ''fore you lose your happy home

[Verse]
G D C G
Well Charlie had some neighbors he really didn''t like
G D C D
Yeah, one''s in methamphetimines and one is his ex-wife
G D C G
And then there was the one, who lived two trailers down
G D C G
She said her name was Bambi - she strips in the next town

[Verse]
G D C G
Now Charlie never was one for being shy
G D C D
He kinda liked ol'' Bambi, thought he''d give her a try
G D C G
He walked over to her trailer, with a case of Stag
G D C G
And by the time they had it drunk, he got her in the sack

[Chorus]
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - What have you done so wrong?
G D C D
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - You got rocks for a lawn
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - Here comes a tornado
G D C G
Better get the tires up on the roof, ''fore you lose your happy home

[Verse]
G D C G
Well Charlie''s love for Bambi, it just grew and grew
G D C D
He fell in love the very first time that they ever screwed
G D C G
Ol'' Charlie he was older than ol'' Bambi was
G D C G
I guess twenty years ain''t that much when you''re in love

[Verse]
G D C G
They moved in together in Charlie''s two-room shack
G D C D
He went and bought a stock tank for a swimmin pool out back
G D C G
They''d spend nights out in the pool, just a case of beer and them
G D C G
Well, they had the time there of their lives, even though they couldn''t swim

[Chorus]
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - What have you done so wrong?
G D C D
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - You got rocks for a lawn
G D C G
Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie - Here comes a tornado
G D C G
Better get the tires up on the roof, ''fore you lose your happy home

[Verse]
G D C G
Well, Charlie he got married to sweet Bambi-sue
G D C D
Oh, Bambi she got pregnant, an'' the baby is due soon
G D C G
Charlie''s kinda worried about the baby''s health
G D C G
There is one thing that he neglected, one thing he didn''t tell

[Verse]
G D C G
Charlie he told Bambi, We need a heart to heart
G D C D
There''s something that I need to say, will shock you from the start
G D C G
I hope that you don''t leave me, I hope it isn''t bad
G D C G|
But my sweet darlin'' Bambi-Sue, I''m your lover and your Dad
