Capo on 1st fret

[A]                        [Bm]
Boys workin on empty
[A]                                                [Bm]
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
[A]                           [Bm]
I just think about my baby
[A]
Im so full of love I could barely eat
[A]                                    [Bm]
Theres nothing sweeter than my baby
[A]                                      [Bm]
I never want once from the cherry tree
[A]                               [Bm]
Cause my babys sweet as can be
[A]
She give me toothaches just from kissin me

[F#m]          [E]
When, my, time comes around
[A]                                 [Bm]
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[F#m]              [E]
No grave can hold my body down
[A]
Ill crawl home to her

[A]                           [Bm]
Thats when my baby found me
[A]                                 [Bm]
I was three days on a drunken sin
[A]                               [Bm]
I woke with her walls around me
[A]                                    [Bm]
Nothin in her room but an empty crib
[A]                            [Bm]
And I was burnin up a fever
[A]                                   [Bm]
I didnt care much how long I lived
[A]                                    [Bm]
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
[A]
She never asked me once about the wrong I did

[F#m]           [E]
When, my, time comes around
[A]                                 [Bm]
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[F#m]              [E]
No grave can hold my body down
[A]
Ill crawl home to her

[F#m]           [E]
When, my, time comes around
[A]                                 [Bm]
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[F#m]              [E]
No grave can hold my body down
[A]
Ill crawl home to her

[A]                        [Bm]
My baby never fret none
[A]                                    [Bm]
About what my hands and my body done
[A]                            [Bm]
If the Lord dont forgive me
[A]
Id still have my baby and my babe would have me
[A]                             [Bm]
When I was kissing on my baby
[A]                                        [Bm]
And she put her love down soft and sweet
[A]                              [Bm]
In the lowland plot I was free
[A]
Heaven and hell were words to me

[F#m]           [E]
When, my, time comes around
[A]                                 [Bm]
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[F#m]              [E]
No grave can hold my body down
[A]
Ill crawl home to her

[F#m]           [E]
When, my, time comes around
[A]                                 [Bm]
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[F#m]              [E]
No grave can hold my body down
[A]
Ill crawl home to her
