Verse 1
D
Well, we made our way up
G
D
99 in the springtime of the year
The San Joaquin was all in bloom,
E
A
and songbirds everywhere
D
We chanced upon a workingman,
G
D
lying by the road
I judged him for a truck driver
A
D
by the clothes he wore
Verse 2
D
We drew some nearer to him then,
G
D
inquirin' of his name
Well, here's three little angels come
E
A
down for to carry me home
D
Then, bear me up to Jesus now,
G
D
my Savior I shall see
You ain't no regular angels, boys,
A

Verse 3
D
Then Lefty, stepping forward,
G
D
addressed the dyin' man
Saying, We're no angels, brother,
E
A
but we'll do all we can
D
What cowards set upon you, sir,
G
D
and dealt the fatal blow?
A
We'll pull out every workingman from here to
D

Ohio

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