An innocent child in New Orleans A simple girl from simple means Walked the rails Rode her thumb She hitched a ride with everyone
The regular, she'd rearrange The girl knew how to chop and change Chop and change Chop and change Chop and change Chop and change
Took a job workin' late Jackin cars from out of state She found no love in this town So she'd never mess around Had no luck, but ain't it strange The girl knew how to chop and change Chop and change Chop and change Chop and change Chop and change
