Poor Monroe
Recorded by Ricky Skaggs with Keith Whitley
Written by Roy Centers

C
Just because he's lazy sits around with the blues
G D7
They run Monroe off without his shoes
G C
He always was lazy and he never liked to work
G D7 G
But now his feet they are bare as he runs through the dirt

C
If my family should ever do me that way
G D7
I'd put my shoes on and go far away
G C
But if they didn't give me time say I had to go
G D7 G
Then my feet would be bare I'd be just like Monroe

repeat #1

C
Well I guess they told him they didn't need him there
G D7
And if he was out of the way they would draw welfare
G C
That's what's messin' up the country and makin' it so tough
G D7 G
While Monroe's livin' it down his family's livin' it up

repeat #1
