Well, that banker, he keeps callin'
C G
Tellin' us our mortgage is overdue
C F C
Gonna plow up the fields, gonna burn down the house
C G C
And the banker, he can have it when I'm through
Chorus:
F C
There ain't no silver left in these pockets
F G
There ain't no cornbread, lord there ain't no wine
C F C
That train don't stop around here anymore
C G C
It done moved on down the line
Well the taxman, he said old Uncle Sam
Gotta get his share of the rake
He can come around here, he can look for himself
There ain't nothin' left that he can take
Chorus
Guitar solo
Harmonica
I'm gonna go back to Grandaddy's farm
On Cherokee allotted land
It ain't ever been owned by no one but him
Won't be taxed by no other man
Chorus
I said that train don't stop around here anymore
It done moved on down the line
