No One Cares About Me

[D]   [G]  [D]  [A]  [D]

Well my [G]wife she took off to [D]Memphis
With some [A]feller from our little [D]town
My [G]mother's at home up in B[D]altimore
And my [A]daddy is down in the g[D]round

It gets awfully cold here in the winter
Hot and humid in the summertime
I got laid off on account there's no work for me
Now I'm in the unemployment line

No one [G]cares about me, no one c[D]ares about me
No one [A]cares about me at a[D]ll
If I [G]had to guess it's 'cause I'm sp[D]otty at best
No one ca[A]res about me at a[D]ll

Well my kids they've all scattered
Went lookin' for a better life
Lost one of my boys to the drug, man
It's the only time I cried in my life

And I knew this old guy once, he was kinda my friend
But he smoked himself to death
And they buried him out at Riverview
Now I'm all that I got left

Someday I'll go look up my brother
He lives a few miles from here
Haven't talked to him in quite some time
I guess it's been 6 or 7 years

Well he works out there at the cannery
And I think he makes a pretty good pay
His wife, she never thought too much of me
So I just stayed away

Well it's hard to say what kind of fellow I am
But most of the time nothin' goes my way
I must've done somethin' pretty wrong
But I still it'll work out okay

There surely must be some angels around the bend
And they're tryin' to get to me
I'll catch up with them pretty soon
But for now no one cares about me
