[Verse 1: Willie Nelson]
Well, now boys, I've been to Bethlehem
Rode there on a big steam train
Lost two fingers in the steel mills
And I ain't goin' back again
[Verse 2: Johnny Cash]
I fought for my country
Lord knows, I did my best
Crawlin' 'cross some foreign field
They pinned a ribbon to my chest
[Chorus]
So pass around the bottle, boys
Let's talk about old times
Night's rollin' in, it's cold as sin
Here on the welfare line
[Verse 3: Willie Nelson]
Served on the Georgia road gang
Couldn't pay the debts I owe
'Cause I ain't made of silver
And I ain't never seen no gold
[Verse 4: Johnny Cash]
I still remember Rachael
Soft as a velvet gown
They laid her in the pauper's grave
On the other side of town
Well, now boys, I've been to Bethlehem
Rode there on a big steam train
Lost two fingers in the steel mills
And I ain't goin' back again
[Verse 2: Johnny Cash]
I fought for my country
Lord knows, I did my best
Crawlin' 'cross some foreign field
They pinned a ribbon to my chest
[Chorus]
So pass around the bottle, boys
Let's talk about old times
Night's rollin' in, it's cold as sin
Here on the welfare line
[Verse 3: Willie Nelson]
Served on the Georgia road gang
Couldn't pay the debts I owe
'Cause I ain't made of silver
And I ain't never seen no gold
[Verse 4: Johnny Cash]
I still remember Rachael
Soft as a velvet gown
They laid her in the pauper's grave
On the other side of town
