An innocent child in new orleans
a simple girl from simple means
walked the rails
rode her thumb
she hitched a ride with the every one

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 working late
jacking cars from out of state
she found no love in this town
so she´d never mess around
had no luck, but aint it strange
the girl knew how to chop and change
chop and change
chop and change
chop and change
chop and change
