Wrong Side (Of The Tracks)
Recorded by The Wilburn Brothers
Written by Betty Sue Perry

C                   F             C
They used to let me play with her awhile
                         F               C
This rich man's daughter with the pretty smile
                 C7                F
But I was just a poor man's ragged child
    G7                              C
And living on the wrong side of the tracks

    F                             C
And social walls are hard to rise above
    G7                                     C
The wrong side of the tracks can kill true love
                      C7                F
There's many who must know what I speak of
   G7                                   C
If they come from the wrong side of the tracks

                  F                C
As time went by I grew to love her so
                  F                  C
We'd slip away so her folks wouldn't know
                       C7                  F
And with each kiss our love just seemed to grow
       G7                                C
Though I came from the wrong side of the tracks

     F                                   C
True love made different worlds into the same
   G7                                 C
It knows no boundaries made by social name
                      C7              F
But still her parents gave me all the blame
      G7                              C
Cause I live on the wrong side of the tracks

                   F                   C
I guess they had a plan right from the start
                   F                  C
They vowed somehow they'd keep we two apart
                    C7              F
They moved her far away and took my heart
    G7                               C
And left me on the wrong side of the tracks

    F                           C
Yet I received her letter yesterday
    G7                                  C
She tells me just to wait there'll be a way
                       C7                  F
But will they kill her love by things they say
    G7                                C
And leave me on the wrong side of the tracks
