We Did Our Best Lyrics

We Did Our Best
John Hartford
Going Back to Dixie
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of:G 3/4 time
You and me, we had our time
We learned to make our way
You said prayers, I passed the hat
Back in the good old days
We worked the bars, we worked the park
And we worked the old fairgrounds
Then we counted up our change
Till the rides all closed down
We travelled around, the best we could
And slept where we layed down
We cleaned up in old back rooms
And we ate what food we found
You even pressed my old top hat
And the spotlight set us free
You held my hand, we did our best
To get over you and me
