Waiting in Your Welfare Line

By Buck Owens

G         Em                 A7

I got the hun-gries for your love

                        D7      G

And I'm waiting in your welfare line

Well I ain't got nothing but the shirt on my back

           D7         G

And an old two-button suit

I walked outta my job about a week ago

        D7                          G

And I'm now sleeping in a telephone booth

But I'm gonna be the richest guy around

            D7         G

The day you say you're mine

          Em                A7

I got the hungries for your love

                        D7      G

And I'm waiting in your welfare line

Well when I first met you babe you nearly

                D7           G

Made me wreck my old 49 Cadillac

Yeah I knew at a glance that it was you for me

  D7                       G

I had to have your love by heck

I'm gonna follow you baby wherever you go

                 D7          G

I got nothing to lose but my time

          Em                A7

I got the hungries for your love

                        D7      G

And I'm waiting in your welfare line

Well you made me the top dog of your hill

          D7   G

And I was overjoyed

But it didn't take long until the thrill was gone

             D7               G

I joined the ranks of the unemployed

Now I'm right back where that I started from

                  D7        G

But I ain't gonna change my mind

          Em                A7

I got the hungries for your love

                        D7      G

And I'm waiting in your welfare line

                    D7      G

I'm waiting in your welfare line gimme a handout

                    D7      G

I'm waiting in your welfare line
