The day you say you're mine
Em
I got the hungrys for your love
A7 D7 G
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Well when I first saw you babe
you nearly made me wreck my old 49 Cadillac
I knew at a glance that it was you for me
And 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 hungrys for your love
and I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Well you made me the top dog on your hill
and I was overjoyed
But it didn't take long till the thrill was gone
I joined the ranks of the unemployed
Now I'm right back where that I started from
but that ain't gonna change my mind
I got the hungrys for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Yeah I'm waitin' in your welfare line
gimme a hand out
I'm waitin' in your welfare line
