G
Hey, lay me down some rails boys
 C
Don't put me in jail boys
 C    D
And if I make a little noise
 D                G
Just leave me alone
G
I've been known to party some
 G      C
But I ain't never hurt no one
      D
I've been ashamed of what I've done
 D                    G
Especially when I'm stoned

[Verse 1]
G                                       C
I've spent most of my life in honest thinking
 C      D                                G
And I never cared too much for serious drinking
G                              C
Marijuana makes my eyes start blinking
 D                          G
And incense make my sinuses drain

[Chorus]
D           G                                               
So.........lay me down some rails boys
 C
Don't put me in jail boys
 C    D
And if I make a little noise
 D                G
Just leave me alone
G
I've been known to party some
G    C
But I ain't never hurt no one
C       D
I've been ashamed of what I've done
D                    G
Especially when I'm stoned

[Verse 2]
G                                C
Now women make me think of consolation
D
Prison makes me think of isolation
 G                         C
Niggers made me vote for segregation
C      D                        G
And cocaine makes me hard as a rock

[Chorus]
D   G
So, lay me down some rails boys
C
Don't put me in jail boys
C    D
And if I make a little noise
               G
Just leave me alone
G
I've been known to party some
G      C
But I ain't never hurt no one
C       D
I've been ashamed of what I've done
 D                    G
Especially when I'm stoned

[Verse 3]
G
Well it's hard to work for a dollar a week
 G                        C
And the Ku Klux Klan is bigger
    D
So take the sheets of of your bed
                     G
And let's go hang a nigger

G
So... lay me down some rails boys
C
Don't put me in jail boys
C     D
And if I make a little noise
 D               G
Just leave me alone

I've been known to party some
   C
But I ain't never hurt no one
      D
I've been ashamed of what I've done
D
Especially when I'm Especially when I'm
D
Especially when I'm Especially when I'm
D                      G
Especially when I'm stoned.
