Verse 1
F
Well, we made our way up
Bb
F
99 in the springtime of the year
The San Joaquin was all in bloom,
G

and songbirds everywhere

We chanced upon a workingman,

lying by the road
I judged him for a truck driver
C
F
by the clothes he wore
Verse 2
F
We drew some nearer to him then,
Bb
F
inquirin' of his name
Well, here's three little angels come
G
C
down for to carry me home
F
Then, bear me up to Jesus now,
Bb
F
my Savior I shall see
You ain't no regular angels, boys,
C

but that's alright by me
Verse 3
F
Then Lefty, stepping forward,
Bb
F
addressed the dyin' man
Saying, We're no angels, brother,
G
C
but we'll do all we can
F
What cowards set upon you, sir,
Bb
F
and dealt the fatal blow?
C
We'll pull out every workingman from here to

Ohio

Verse 4
F
It was no vigilante gang,
Bb
F
nor ranch- boss thugs this time
But the meatloaf special dinner
G
C
I had on Highway 99
F
A comely waitress served me there,
Bb
F
and she cooled me with her fan
But fatal meatloaf has struck down
C
F
this old truck drivin' man
Verse 5
F
Then Lefty reached down in his bag,
Bb
F
saying, You ain't dyin', friend
Just take a drink of whiskey now,
G
C
you'll feel alright again
F
All through the night we lingered there
Bb
F
and passed that bottle round
We hauled aboard at sunrise,
C
F
lit out for Frisco town
Verse 6
F
Now, the workingman must be we'll
Bb
F
warned whenever headlines scream
"Your rights must yield,
Bb
F
G
the bombs must fall to save democracy"
C
F
The flag they fly,
Bb
F
their stew of lies served up at votin' time
Like poison under the gravy
C
on Highway 99
