Orphan Annie

1 4 1

Ridin’ in planes and hailin’ cabs I been on the road so long

1 3m 6m 2 5

Lookin’ for the sunshine every day that I been a-missin’ so long

4 1

Two blocks over one street across and uptown ’round and down

5 1

Lord there musta been somethin’ just hidin’ out somewhere someplace I ain’t found

1 4 5

Annie orphan Annie are your Nashville nights still warm

6m 2 5

Somewhere to the west of town well it’s a-comin’ up a storm

4 3m 5 1

Are your rivers dark and muddy where the green swamp willows grow

5 3m 6m 5 1

Nine more days and I’ll be home lord back in off the road

A-pickin’ and a-grinnin’ and a-playin’ their games so listen to what I say

Lord I wish I was down in Nashville town about Fifth and Broadway

Where the Cumberland rows the soft breeze blows and home it ain’t far away

But here I sit in New York City just a-hangin’ out every day
