Текст песни George Gudger's Overalls - Doc Watson
As
I
walked
out
one
mornin'
in
the
Alabama
chill,
I
saw
some
old
friends
hangin'
from
a
tree
on
Hobie's
Hill.
By
their
tattered
legs
they
dangled
drippin'
down
along
the
spine.
It
was
old
George
Gudger's
overalls
a-drying
on
the
line.
George
Gudger,
he's
an
honest
cuss,
and
he
likes
to
work
his
land.
I'd
long
admired
them
overalls
that
I
held
there
in
my
hand.
My
brand
new
pair
was
stiffer
than
a
starched-up
Sunday
suit.
But
his
could
walk
'round
by
themselves
and
plow
the
corn
to
boot!
Now
the
knees
looked
almost
bloody
from
the
red
Hale
County
clay.
George
Gudger's
debts
and
prayers
had
kept
him
kneelin'
down
all
day.
Old
George
owes
me
money,
but
I
owe
him
my
respect.
And
if
these
overalls
will
fit
me,
Boy,
I'll
forget
about
his
debt.
I
stepped
in
to
them
big
old
legs
like
fallin'
down
a
mine.
Then
I
heard
a
ragged
chuckle,
and
there
stood
old
George
behind.
A
smile
of
old
tobacco
juice
was
tricklin'
down
his
chin.
He
said,
"You
might
as
well
try
walkin'
round
in
someone
else's
skin
.. ."
"But
son,
if
you
like
them
old
friends
of
mine
so
much,
I
guess
I
can
let
'em
go
Had
to
lean
'em
to
me
wife
last
year,
while
she's
carry'n
Little
Joe.
She
bent
down
in
the
fields
one
day
And
split
that
tired
old
seam
And
now
she
gone
and
beat
'em
half
to
death
on
that
rock
down
by
the
stream'
The
knees
looked
almost
bloody
from
the
red
Hale
County
clay.
George
Gudger's
debts
and
prayers
they
kept
him
kneelin'
down
all
day.
You
know
I
walked
just
like
a
drunken
man,
they
almost
made
me
fall.
They
kept
tryin'
to
steer
me
back
towards
Gudger's
place,
Cuz
they're
still
Old
George's
overalls!
At
home
before
the
mirror
I
seemed
to
be
a
different
man,
In
my
mind
they
kept
a
seein'
His
farmed
out
patch
of
land.
So
I
took
him
back
his
overalls
and
a
week
supply
of
food,
I
also
left
my
brand
new
pair
and
sneaked
home
in
the
nude.
