it didn’t take a hole in the ground to put the bottom in their face

back in the thirties when the dust bowl dried

my Daddy played poker by a hard wood fire
Dm
squeezing all his luck from a hot copper wire

where i call to the lord with all my soul
G Dm
i can hear him rattling the chains on the door

through the shadows of the cage around the 40 watt light

Daddy tell me another story
G
tell me about the lows and the highs
C G A
tell me how to tell the difference between what they tell me is the truth

tell me why the ones who have so much make the ones who don’t go mad

with the same skin stretched over their white bones and the same jug in

their hand
