Alone And Broke In Birmingham
Recorded by Cal Smith
Written by Jan Crutchfield and Jimmy Rule
C
Nobody knows how blue I am
G7
Alone and broke in Birmingham
Washin' dishes for a bite to eat
C
Sleepin' nights on a rundown street
My only shoes are paper thin
F
I’ve hawked my clothes everywhere I've been
C
I’m down to nothin' and here I am
G7 C
Alone and broke in Birmingham
Why did I leave a good home town
G7
To ride the freights and bum around
The girl that's waiting is mighty sweet
C
But I can't wait till I'm on my feet
Down on my luck but I still got my pride
F
Can't find a job but oh how I've tried
C
Ain't got the price of a telegram
G7 C
Alone and broke in Birmingham
I've heard a thousand no's and they all hurt
G7
Who wants a man in a dirty shirt
I can't keep going with this heavy load
C
Sometimes I think it's the end of the road
A man's got hope though he's not got a dime
F
He keeps a livin' just a breath at a time
C
I can't wait till I'm out of this jam
G7 C
Alone and broke in Birmingham
G7 C
Alone and broke in Birmingham
