AWe've moved on six miles from where Bm7we were yesterday
And A/C#yesterday is but a Dmlong long ways awayA/C# Amb5/C
Bm7So we'll camp A/C#out tonight Dbeneath the B7bright starlight
And Aforget rotten peaches and the Gplaces we've Dstayed G/D D Dsus4
AI left from the dockland Bm7two years ago now
Made my A/C#way over on the S.S. MaDmrieA/C#
And I've Bm7always had A/C#trouble Dwherever I've seB7ttled
ARotten peaches are Gall that I Dsee
GRotten peaches Arotting in the Dsun
GSeems I've seen that devil Afruit since the world Dbegun
AMercy I'm a cE/G#riminal, Bm7Jesus I'm the oB7ne
Rotten pAeaches Grotting in the Dsun
There ain't no green grass in a U.S. state prison
There is no one to hold when you're sick for your wife
And each day out you'll pick, you'll pick rotten peaches
You'll pick rotten peaches for the rest of your life
Oh I've had me my fill of cocaine and pills
For I lie in the light of the Lord
And my home is ten thousand, ten thousand miles away
And I guess I won't see it no more
