[Verse 1]
G
It was a cold and cruel evening
          C              G
Sneaking up on Speedy Creek
              D               [G lick]
Found myself asleepin' in the snow
 
For one or two odd reasons
                      C
I ain't too proud to repeat
  A7                               D
For now we'll say I had no place to go
G
There was a rustle and a humming
      C                G
Just hauling down the street
                D        [G lick]
I drew myself up from my icy bed
G                                      C        G
Painted on that shiny car the letters 'R C M and P'
G                    D          [G lick]
I can feel a little aching in my head
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
And then out jumps this old boy
      C                G
About twice the size of me
                  D                [G lick]
He asked me for my name and where I dwelt
 
I just looked him in the eye
              C            G
And sang 'Blue Yodel Number 9'
A7                                       D
He didn't catch the reference, I could tell
 
G
Then the old, familiar click
        C                G
and the handcuffs bind and grip
                          C              [G lick]
Should have left me in the snow, where I laid
 
G
He just laughed and touched his gun
          C
And turned to me and he said
G                          D
Son, I bet you don't own a damn thing
[G lick]
To your name
 
 
[Chorus]
              C
Well, I got my health
 
             G
My John B Stetson
 
      D                              G
Got a bottle full of baby's bluebird wine
              C
And I left my stash
                  G
Somewhere down in Preston
          D                              [G lick extended]
Along with thirteen silver dollars and my mind
 
              C
Well, I got my health
 
             G
My John B Stetson
 
      D                              G
Got a bottle full of baby's bluebird wine
              C
And I left my stash
                  G
Somewhere down in Preston
          D                              [G lick]
Along with thirteen silver dollars and my mind
