He was covered with the evening news
SOL RE SOL
Had a pair of wool socks on his hands

He was curled up behind some garbage cans

I was afraid that he was dead, I gave him a gentle shake
SI DO RE
When he opened up his eyes I said, Old man are you ok , He said

Drip-drying in the summer breeze

I was walkin down an old dirt road
SOL SOL/FA#
Past a field of hey that had just been mowed
MIm DO
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
RE SOL
Cause I was almost home
Then he said, I was just comin round the barn,
Bout the time you grabbed my arm
I heard momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my own nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
I saw daddy loadin up the truck
(bridge)
cane poles on the tailgate, bobbler's blowin in the wind
since July of 55, that's as close as I've been, Yea
(go to chorus)
RE
I said old man you're gonna freeze to death,
MIm
Let me drive you to the mission
DO
He said boy if you'd left me alone
RE REsus / RE
Right now I'd be fishin
