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 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 ain't it strange
The girl knew how to chop and change,
Chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
