Lefty Left Us Lonely Boxcar Willie
[G] Now Lefty came from Texas
At least that what they [G7] say
He [C] cut a record down in Dallas
It really got 'im on his way
[D7] You could hear 'im on ev'ry jukebox
In ev'ry town and state
Ev'ry DJ played - Always [G] Late.
Now Lefty wasn't no saint
He didn't claim to be
He could sing a country song
Send cold chills through me
Like the son of a Saginaw fisherman
He sang --- in Saginaw, Michigan
If [C] you got money, honey, I've got the time
When he [G] sang that song, well, he nearly blew my mind
I'd walk for miles, cry or [D7] smile, for my [G] mama and [C] daddy
And it [G] tears me up to [D7] see a grown man [G] cry.
Lefty left us lonely
He left before his time
But I can see 'im singin' now to an angel
At that Opry in the sky
I'm just an old, old man a-lookin' for fun
Why, oh! why, do you do me this way?
If you got money, honey, I've got the time
When he sang that song, well, he nearly blew my mind
I'd walk for miles, cry or smile, for my mama and daddy
Oh! why, oh! why, oh! why, do you do me this way?
TAG: Yeah! Oh! why, oh! why, oh! why, do you do me this way?
[P] Always Late.
