If you have any Prine or Steve Goodman in your 'puter please send them along.... Unwed Fathers by John Prine G C G C In an Appalachian, Greyhound station G D G She sits there waiting, in a family way C G C 'Goodbye brother, Tell Mom I love her' G D G 'Tell all the others, I'll write someday' Chorus: G C G From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother D kept undercovers, like some bad dream G C G C While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered G D G They run like water, through a mountain stream G C G C In a cold and grey town, a nurse say's 'Lay down' G D G 'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home' C G C Someones children, out having children G D G in a grey stone building, all al-one (Chorus) G C G C Some where else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound G D G She bows her head down, humming lullabys C G C 'Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever' G D G 'he just don't live here, but you've got his eyes' (Chorus) -- -Paul McGinness
