C
You might have seen me 'neath the pool hall lights
F
Well baby I go back each night
C
If you got a throat I got a knife
G C
Steady rollin' I keep goin'
C
I don't mind how quick the seasons change
F
You know to me they's every one the same
C
The sweetest sunshine drips the drain
G C
Death's comin' I'm still runnin'
C
Well I come from the old time baby
F
too late for you to save me
F G C
If I remain then I'm to blame
C
But if you should ever need me
F
I'll go where'er you lead me
F G C
It's all the same the same old game
C
My lovin' lady she's a ball and chain
F
I still can travel but my speed has changed
C
I bring the money I take the blame
G C
Steady rollin' I keep goin'
C
But I shot my wife today
F
dropped her body in the Frisco bay
C
I had no choice it was the only way
G C
Death's comin' I'm still runnin'
C
Well I come from the old time baby

too late for you to save me
F G C
If I remain then I'm to blame
C
But if you should ever need me
F
I'll go where'er you lead me
F G C
It's all the same the same old game

Out waltzin' with the Holy Ghost
F
from the Bowery to the Barbary Coast
C
The land I'm from you know I love the most
G C
Steady rollin' I keep goin'
C
And everyday is just another town
F
The more I search you know the less I've found
C
Me I'm a sucker just a slave to sound
G C
Death's comin' I'm still runnin'

Well I come from the old time baby

too late for you to save me
F G C
If I remain then I'm to blame

But if you should ever need me

I'll go where'er you lead me
