C F C F
Hometown lady leavin' for the city
C Am G
Bags in hand she's boarding the train
C F
Her last look through the window
C F
I saw her eyes were as red as mine
C Am G
I wave goodbye but I can't believe she's leaving
F G
But a woman can't be high class
C G/B Am C/G
In a lonely farmer's town
F G
And the son of a poor man
C G/B Am C/G
Ain't gonna turn your head around
F G
But if you ever get lonely
C G/B Am C/G
Just pick up the telephone
F G
And the son of a poor man
Bb C F F F Eb
Eb C F Bb
Will bring you home
C F C F
Well maybe soon I'll see her on some television show
C Am G
Painted lips and fingers singing for the world
C F C F
A fashion plate for sure dancing for your plastic world
C Am G
Call me up if you can but if not well I'll understand
F G
Cause a woman can't be high class
C G/B Am C/G
In a lonely farmer's town
F G
And the son of a poor man
C G/B Am C/G
Ain't gonna turn your head around
F G
But if you ever get lonely
C G/B Am C/G
You just pick up the telephone
F G Bb (C)
And the son of a poor man's gonna bring you home
