I’ve Got A Truck
My sweetest love
Forever I’ve known
Cause I am a truck driving man
I’ve driven these roads
From coast to coast
Seen every corner of the land
Down in the south
I had a gal
Whose daddy was as rich as a king
She begged me to stay
Offerin’ me the world
If I would only buy her a ring
I said, “I’ve got a truck
And a trailer to haul
And a heart that can only be true”
I scorned the love of a rich man’s daughter
All for the love of you
I could have been
A company man
Watched the work get done
I could have even been the president
After her daddy passed on
But I’ve got a truck with a trailer to haul
And a heart that can only be true
I scorned the heart of a rich man’s daughter
All for the love of you
Come away with me
I’ve got all that we need
If the highway is my kingdom you can be my queen
But we really gotta hurry
I owe that rich girl some money
And I hear her daddy’s looking for me -
but it’s not my child!
But I’ve got a truck and a trailer to haul
And a heart that can only be true
I scorned the heart of a rich man’s daughter
All for the love of you
I’ve got a truck and a trailer to haul
And a heart that can only be true
I scorned the love of a rich man’s daughter
All for the love of you
All for the love of you
All for the love of you

Thank you for putting this on the web….I love this song and I’ve been looking all over for it. I played around with both seamonkey’s and sexm onkey’s versions. I think sexmonkey has it, except that the a7 and b7 really make it ring!! It still sounds good without them, but sounds much better with them.
So here’s my suggestion:
Em Em A7 A7
Em Em A7 A7
Em A7 B7
Em Em A7 A7
Em Em A7 A7
Em A7 B7 Em
G G C C
G B7 Em G C
G B7 Em G C
G C G C G

anyone heard this any other Ive got a truck? I love this bit!
went down to st. james in ______
see my baby there,
shes lying on a long white table, so cool so calm so fair
yeah 16 cold* black horses hitched to a double in hand*
seven girls went to the graveyard only 6 of them ever come back
let her go let her go god bless her
let her go where she may be
cause you can search the whole world over now
but you’ll never find a man like me
but if i die wont you please bury me with with my hitop steps* in hand* with a gold piece on my watch chain so they know i died a standin man*
get six gamblers to carry my coffin
get 6 chors girls to sing me a song
get a jazz band to play at my tailgate baby
to raise hell as i go along*
oh
let her go let her go god bless her
let her go where she may be
cause you can search the whole world over now
but you’ll never find a man like me
* means unsure of lyric.
