- CHe's a wino, tried and trueF
- Done about everything there is to doGHe worked on freighters, he worked in bars
- C GHe worked on farms, 'n he worked on cars
- It was white port, that put that look in his eyeThat grown men get when they need to cryAnd he sat down on the curb to rest
- And his head just fell down on his chestHe said "Every single day it gets
- A little bit harder to handle and yet..."And he lost the thread and his mind got clutteredAnd the words just rolled off down in the gutter
- Well he was elevator man in a cheap hotelIn exchange for the rent on a one room cell
- He's old in years beyond his timeThanks to the world, and the white Port wine
- And he said "Son", he always called me sonHe said, "Life for you has just begun"And he told me a story that I heard before
- How he fell in love with a Dallas whoreWell he could cut through the years to the very night
- When it ended, in a whore house fightAnd she turned his last proposal downIn favor of being a girl about town
- It's been seventeen years right in lineAnd he ain't been straight none of the time
- Been too many days of fightin' the weatherAnd too many nights of not being together
- So he died........ (guitar for one verse)Well when they went through his personal affects
- In among the stubs from the welfare checksWas a crumblin' picture of a girl in a doorAn address in Dallas, and nothin' more
- The welfare people provided the priestA couple from the mission down the street
- Sang Amasing Grace, and no one cried'Cept some woman in black way off to the side
- We all left and she was standing thereBlack veil covering her silver hairAnd One-Eyed John said her name was Alice
- And she used to be a whore in DallasSing:
- C FLet him roll, Lord let him rollG C G
- Bet he's gone to Dallas Rest his soulC FLet him roll, Lord let him roll
- GHe always said that heavenC G
- Was just a Dallas Whore....
- Here is the tab for the finger pick as simplified as I could getit. I believe you have to capo up 2 frets to play with thealbum. I haven't played with the album on this song in a long
- time so I'm not certain. There are 16 dashes to each measureso timing is somewhat represented.
- I have tabbed two stanzas of the pick. It continues the same waythroughout the song. During the guitar solo, emphasize themelody on the high strings. If anyone tries to learn this from
- the tab, I would appreciate any feedback you can give me on howuseable it was as it took me a while to figure out from thealbum. If you learn this song, the Randall Knife is very
- similar.NOTE: The "h" above the staff means hammer the note directly
- below it.G C F G
