Johnny Cash - Unwed Fathers: chords

           C         F         C
In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
               Am      G             C
She sits there waiting, in a family way
                        F     C
"Goodbye brother, tell Mom I love her
     C       Am     G                C
Tell all the others, I'll write someday"

Chorus:
C                F                  C
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
           C   Am                G
Kept undercover, like some bad dream
           C        F        C
And unwed fathers, can't be bothered
               Am   G                 C
They run like water, in a mountain stream

In a cold and gray town, the nurse says "Lay down"
"This ain't no playground, and you ain't home"
Someone's children, are having children
In a cold gray building, all alone

Chorus

On somewhere else bound, midnight Greyhound
She hangs her head down, and hums a lullaby
Scared half crazy, she holds her baby
She says I think maybe, you got your daddy's eyes
