1.A long time ago
D
No shoes on my feet
E
I walked ten miles of train track
A
To hear Hank Williams sing (follow the same progression throughout)
His body was worn
But his spirit was free
And he sang every song
Looking right straight at me
C1.Just a tramp on your street
You must understand
You got my soul at your feet
And my heart in your hand
2.No I don't have to pick
And I don't have to choose
I don't have to win
And I don't have to lose
And if I make any pay
I just throw it away
I don't count on tomorrow
I just live for today
C.
C2.Still you opened yourself
And you held me inside
You made a stray dog like me
Feel welcome tonight

I'm just a tramp on your street
