B Down at Backwater junction rolling down the line In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine E I was walking down the highway, needed somewhere to go B Lady laid beside me and she invited me home A E B She led me cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road In a house on the corner looking over the track I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back She was lying there beside me, my fever started to grow Had a funny feeling but the lady said no My lover needs a doctor down the Backwater Road B Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for D E B Lady do you know what you're lookin' for B Was I wrong to play along? D E B Lady was I right or lady was I wrong? Backwater doctor, you've got me breathing in time It's ten-thirty in the morning and I'm feeling alright I went back to my lady but I wasn't to know Lady left this morning and she's not coming home I was cold when she left me down the Backwater Road | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  D  E  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
