Version 1

(I)

        A
Well I woke up this morning with the cold water
          E                   A
With the cold water, with the cold water
        A         
Well I woke up this morning with the cold water
          E                    A
With the cold water, with the cold

Police at the station and they dont' look friendly
They dont' look friendly no they dont

Found an old dog & he seems to like me
Seems to like me, well he seems to like me
Found an old dog & he seems to like me
Seems to like me, well he seems


(II)

See them fellows with the cardboard signs
Scrapin' up a little money to buy a bottle of wine
Pregnant women & the Vietnam vets I say
Beggin' on the freeway 'bout as hard as it gets


(I)

Well I slept in the graveyard it was cold and still
Cold and still, it was cold and still
Well I slept in the graveyard it was cold and still
Cold and still, and it was cold 


(II)

Slept all night in the Cedar Grove
I was born to ramble, born to rove
Some men are searchin' for the Holy Grail
But there aint nothin' sweeter than ridin' the rails


(Solo)

(II)

I look 47 but I'm 24
Well they shooed me away from here the time before
Turned their backs and they locked their doors
I'm watching TV in the window of a furniture store

(I)

Well I woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water, with the cold water
Well I woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water, with the cold

Well I woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold water
Woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold

Police at the station
And they don't look friendly
Well they don't look friendly
Well they don't look friendly
Police at the station
And they don't look friendly
They don't look friendly well
They don't

Blind or crippled
Sharp or dull
I'm reading the Bible
By a 40 watt bulb
What price freedom
Dirt is my rug
Well I sleep like a baby
With the snakes and the bugs

Well the stores are open
But I ain't got no money
I ain't got no money
Stores are open but I
Ain't got no money
Ain't got no money
Well I ain't

Found an old dog
And he seems to like me
Seems to like me
Well he seems to like me
Found an old dog and he
Seems to like me
Seems to like me
Well he seems

Seen them fellows
with the card board signs
Scrapin up a little $
To buy a bottle of wine
Pregnant women and
The Vietnam vets I say
Beggin on the freeway
Bout as hard as it gets

Well I slept in the graveyard
It was cool and still
Cool and still
It was cool and still
Slept in the graveyard
It was cool and still
Cool and still and it
Was cool

Slept all night in the Cedar grove
I was born to ramble
Born to rove
Some men are searchin for the
Holy Grail
But there ain't nothin sweeter
Than ridin the rails

I love 47 but I'm 24
Well they shooed me away
From here the time before
Turned there their backs
And they locked their doors
I'm watching T.V. in
The window of a furniture store

Well I woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold water
Woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold
