Lyrics

(C)They Am a ril lo by morn (Em)in’, broke my (F)leg up from San An (C)ton’.

Ev ’ry thing and that I (Em)got

is (F)just what I’ve got on.

When that be (F)sun in’ is high in that (G)Tex as sky, I’ll be (C)buck in’ at the (Em)coun try (F)fair.

Am a ril lo by (G)morn in’,

Am a (G)ril lo, I’ll be (C)there.

(C)They took my sad dle in Hous (Em)ton,

broke my (F)leg in San ta An (C)Fe.

Lost my wife and a girl (Em)friend

some (F)where a long the way.

But I’ll be (F)look in’ for eight when they (G)pull that gate,

and I (C)hope in’ that the (Em)judge ain’t (F)blind.

Am a ril lo by (G)morn in’,

Am a (G)ril lo’s on my (C)mind.

Am a ril lo by morn (F#m)in’,

up from San An (D)ton’.

Ev ’ry thing that I (F#m)got

is (G)just what I’ve got on.

I ain’t (G)got a dime, but what I (A)got is mine.

I ain’t (F#m)rich, but Lord, I’m free.

Am a ril lo by (A)morn in’,

Am a (A)ril lo’s where I’ll (D)be.

Am a ril lo by (A)morn in’,

Am a (A)ril lo’s where I’ll (D)be.
