verse 1 C It was a dark rainy night down in Texas Am I believe the year was nineteen-sixty-two F C When I packed up all my rags in one little bag G7 C I started walking holes in my shoesInstrumental break verse 2 C Well it's been thirty years since I left her Am Since I left well I ain't had no news F C Listen my friends I'd do it all again G7 C Walk another hole in my shoesC I could hear the engineer's lonesome whistle Am And old Hank he was singing the blues F C When I walked out the door said I won't be back no more G7 C Started walking holes in my shoesInstrumental break verse 3 C Well sometimes I still miss that woman Am Like tonight my mind's on the blues F C Was a long time ago I became a hobo G7 C Started walking holes in my shoesC I could hear the engineer's lonesome whistle Am And old Hank he was singing the blues F C When I walked out the door said I won't be back no more G7 C Started walking holes in my shoesC I could hear the engineer's lonesome whistle Am And old Hank he was singing the blues F C When I walked out the door said I won't be back no more G7 C Started walking holes in my shoes
