| I've never had much truck with kings | B |
| Said old George Jones For all my days | C |
| My lot's been cast 'mid common thngs | C |
| My path has run by humble ways | C |
| Tho' I have live my life in what | D |
| Men call 'The shadow of the throne ' | - |
| No king disturbed my peace one jot | E |
| And I have left them well alone | F |
| - | |
| But I have heard men rave and rant | G |
| Of great injustice wrongs and rights | C |
| And all that maudlin modern cant | G |
| Of liberty and freedom's fights | C |
| But peacefully I've gone my way | H |
| And sought content on this bright earth | I |
| I've harked to all they've had to say | H |
| And summed it up for all it's worth | I |
| - | |
| But foreign lands have crushed their kings | C |
| And raised new flags of strange design | J |
| Yet all the liberty it brings | C |
| Seems somehow not one half of mine | J |
| In all those lands in this dread hour | K |
| Warring ambitions rise supreme | L |
| And in his crazy lust for pow'r | M |
| Brother slays brother for a dream | L |
| - | |
| Some wise man in some book I read | N |
| Said old George Jones the seer explains | C |
| All human plans must have a head | N |
| And if it falls black chaos reigns | C |
| And can one doubt When far and wide | O |
| Not freedom's gain but freedom's loss | C |
| Follows the fall with fratricide | O |
| 'Mid those who would supplant the Boss | C |
