	F7
Now I was a`	driving down

A West Texas highway

	Bb7
I	seen a hitchhiker

	E7
His	thumb was pointin my way

	F7
He	didn't look suspicious

	D	G7	C7
He	didn't look any too	cle	an

	F7
So I,	I put on my brakes

And I opened up the door

	Bb7
I could	tell he was a bum

	E7
By the	boots he wore

	F7	D
He said I'm	going down to	Haskell

	G7	C7	F7	Bb7	F7	C7
	Got a woman back in	Abil	ene.

	F7
He told me	son East Texas

Is where I come from

	Bb7
I	been ridin' that Jacksonville Rodeo

	E7
And	I got humdrum

	F7
I'm	travelling around

	D	G7	C7
A	whole lot of Texas I've	see	n

	F7
Yes and	I'm, I'm mighty glad

You was pushin' down my way

	Bb7
In your	fancy clothes

	E7
And this	shiny Chevrolet

	F7	D
	Said I'm going down to	Haskell

	G7	C7	F7	Bb7	C7
	Got a woman back in	Abil	ene.

--- Dobro / Piano leads

	F7
You know	he was grinning like a possum

And a mighty happy rascal

	Bb7
He	waved good-bye

	E7
When I	let him out in Haskell

	F7
And	that's about the last

	D
Of that	road tramp

	G7	C7
That I've ever	see	n

	F7
But you know that	I'm still wishing

To this very day

	Bb7
That	he had my clothes

	E7
And this	shiny Chevrolet

	F7	D
And it was	me going to	Haskell

	G7	C7	F7	Bb7	F7
With a	woman down in	Abi	len	e.

	F7
	But you know that I'm still wishing

To this very day

	Bb7
That	he had my clothes

	E7
And this	shiny Chevrolet

	F7	D
And it was	me going to	Haskell

G7 C7 F7 Bb7 F7/E7-F7 (slide up)

With a woman down in Abilene.
