| NOTE #2 This live cut differs from the studio cut in that Buck flubbed the |

| VERSE 2 |
| Well, when I first met you babe, you nearly made me wreck my ol' '49 |
| Cadillac |
| Yeah I knew at a glance that it was you for me; I had to have your love by |
| heck |
| I'm gonna follow you baby wherever you go; I got nothin' to lose but my |
| time |
| I got the hungries for your love, and I'm waitin' in your welfare line |
| LEAD SOLO - Same as the last two lines of the verse! |
| VERSE 3 |
| Well, you made me the top dog of your hill, and I was overjoyed |
| But it didn't take long until the thrill was gone, I joined the ranks of |
| the unemployed |
| Now I'm right back where that I started from, but I ain't gonna change my |
| mind | |
| I got the hungries for your love, and I'm waitin' in your welfare line |
| I'm waitin' in your welfare line (Gimme a handout) |
| I'm waitin' in your welfare line. |
| Dedicated with love to the late DON RICH - miss ya, hoss. |
