Lefty Left Us Lonely Chords & Lyrics - 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 him on his way

You could [D7]hear him on every jukebox

In every town and state every DJ played Always [G]Late

Now Lefty wasn't no saint he didn't claim to [G7]be

He [C]could sing a country song send cold chills through me

Like the [D7]son of a Saginaw fisherman

He sang in Saginaw [G]Michigan

If [C]you got the 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 [G7]time

But I [C]can see 'im singin' now to an angel at that Opry in the sky

I'm just an [D7]old old man a-lookin' for fun

Why oh why do you do me this [G]way

If [C]you got the 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

Oh [G]why oh why oh [D7]why do you do me this [G]way

Yeah Oh why oh why oh [D7]why do you do me this [G]way

[D7]Always [G]Late
