George Jones Papa's Wagon Lyrics:
PAPA'S WAGON WRITER CARMOL TAYLOR Chorus: [D] I

home Chorus: [D] I remember Tammy Jones that [A]

when I told her of my plans she [G] cried and said

[A] ran away from [D] home [D] Too young to get a
job I robbed a [A] man in Frisco [D] yard [G] The
wagon I had rode next was [D] driven by a [A]
guard [D] Mom and Pop they kept my secret [G] til
their dying [D] day That's why no one could find
me when they [A] both had passed a [D] way Chorus:
