B7                  E       A
didn't look any too clean
D                        D7
I put on my brakes And I opened my 
door
G                                 
I could tell he was a bum, By the 
Fdim
muddy boots he wore
            D             B7      
He said I'm going down to Haskell

[Verse 3]
            D                      
Well he was grinning like a possum 
      D7
and a mighty happy rascal
G                            Fdim
And he waved good-bye when I let him
 out in Haskell
D                                 
And that's about the last of that 
    B7                    E    A
old road tramp I ever did see
D                             D7
But I'm still wishing To this very 
day
G                               
That he had my clothes And this 
Fdim
great big Chevrolet
           D            B7        
And it was me going to Haskell 
    E            A    D    G    
with a woman down in Abilene
D   A
