[Intro]
Am Am Am Am
[Verse 1]
Am Dm9 G6
Alexis, thank you for a pleasant southern day
Dm9 G6 Cmaj7 C
Spent on the levy throwin' pennies in the bay
Am
And talkin 'bout the rich folks
Dm9 G6
On the big boats that pass that way
Dm9 G6
You were just a young girl
Cmaj7 C C7
I just could not stay
[Verse 2]
Am Dm9 G6
Alexis, I can't remember how we met back then
Dm9 G6 Cmaj7 C
Was on my way to Atlanta, now I'm on that road again
Am Dm9 G6
Not really poor, had money just not to spend
Dm9 G6 Cmaj7 C C7
You were just a young girl, and I was in need of a friend
[Chorus]
F
Alexis, you always used to talk about
Cmaj7 C
Leavin your hometown, headin on south
F
Maybe down to New Orleans
Cmaj7 C
And you wanted me to help you out
Am
But you were just a young girl
F Gsus2 G
And I was just a hobo...
Am Am7
that had my doubts
[Verse 3]
Am Dm9 G6
Alexis, I did not want to... want to leave you there
Dm9 G6 Cmaj7 C
Sometimes this life we lead is so unfair
Am
I wanted to take you with me
Dm9 G6
But I did not dare
Dm9 G6 Cmaj7 C C7
You were just a young girl and I could not pay your fare
[Chorus]
F
Alexis, you always used to talk about
Dm9 Cmaj7 C
Leavin your hometown, headin on south
F
Maybe down to New Orleans
Cmaj7 C
And you wanted me to help you out
Am
But you were just a young girl
F Gsus2 G
And I was just a hobo...
Am Am7
that had my doubts

Am F G
I had my doubts...
