A West Texas highway
SIb7
I seen a hitchhiker
MI7
His thumb was pointin my way
FA7
He didn't look suspicious
RE SOL7 DO7
He didn't look any too clean
FA7
So I, I put on my brakes
And I opened up the door
SIb7
I could tell he was a bum
MI7
By the boots he wore
FA7 RE
He said I'm going down to Haskell
SOL7 DO7 FA7 SIb7 FA7 DO7
Got a woman back in Abilene.

You know he was grinning like a possum
And a mighty happy rascal
SIb7
He waved good-bye
MI7
When I let him out in Haskell
FA7
And that's about the last
RE
Of that road tramp
SOL7 DO7
That I've ever seen
FA7
But you know that I'm still wishing
To this very day
SIb7
That he had my clothes
MI7
And this shiny Chevrolet
FA7 RE
And it was me going to Haskell
SOL7 DO7 FA7 SIb7 FA7
With a woman down in Abilene.
FA7
But you know that I'm still wishing
To this very day
SIb7
That he had my clothes
MI7
And this shiny Chevrolet
FA7 RE
And it was me going to Haskell

With a woman down in Abilene.
