Waitin' In Your Welfare Line Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

I got the hungrys for your love and I'm waitin' in your welfare line 

Well I ain't got nothing but the shirt on my back and an old two button suit 

I walked out on my job about a week ago and I'm sleepin' in a telephone booth 

But I'm a gonna be the richest guy around the day you say you're mine 

I got the hungry's for your love and I'm waitin' in your welfare line 

When I first saw you babe you nearly made me wreck my old 49 Cadillac 

I knew at a glance that it was you for me and I had to have your love by heck 

I'm gonna follow you baby wherever you go I got nothing to lose but my time 

I got the hungry's for your love and I'm waitin' in your welfare line 

Well you made me the top dog on your hill and I was overjoyed 

But it didn't take long till the thrill was gone I joined the ranks of the unemployd 

Now I'm right back where that I started from but that ain't gonna change my mind 

I got the hungrys for your love and I'm waitin' in your welfare line 

Yes I'm waitin' in your welfare line
