  Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl

  Down on the waterfront,

Her hair all drenched in spray

  She sang a song to me, stuck right in my brain

 The tires were wearin' thin,
       Gm
She's done a mile or two
F                   Dm
 When I asked her where's she headed for
A#                       Gm
 Back up to Boston, I'm singin' in a bar
F                          Dm
 I've got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge
A#
  My nerves was shot already,
     Gm
The road ain't all that smooth
F                        Dm
 Across in Texas is the rose in San Antone
A#                         Gm
I keep on a feelin' that gnawin' in my bone
