Intro: A# A#   Cm Cm (x8)

A# A# Cm Cm
Boys workin on empty
A# A# Cm Cm
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
A# A# Cm Cm
I just think about my baby
A# A#
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
A# A# Cm Cm
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
A# A# Cm Cm
I never want once from the cherry tree
A# A# Cm Cm
Cause my baby's sweet as can be
A# A#
She give me toothaches just from kissin me

Gm Gm F F
When, my, time comes around
A# A# Cm Cm
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm Gm F F
No grave can hold my body down
A# A#
I'll crawl home to her

A# A# Cm Cm
That's when my baby found me
A# A# Cm Cm
I was three days on a drunken sin
A# A# Cm Cm
I woke with her walls around me
A# A# Cm Cm
Nothin in her room but an empty crib
A# A# Cm Cm
And I was burnin up a fever
A# A# Cm Cm
I didn't care much how long I lived
A# A# Cm Cm
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
A# A#
She never asked me once about the wrong I did

Gm Gm F F
When, my, time comes around
A# A# Cm Cm
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm Gm F F
No grave can hold my body down
A# A#
I'll crawl home to her (Repeat chorus)


A# A# Cm Cm
My baby never fret none
A# A# Cm Cm
About what my hands and my body done
A# A# Cm Cm
If the Lord don't forgive me
A# A#
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
A# A# Cm Cm
When I was kissing on my baby
A# A# Cm Cm
And she put her love down soft and sweet
A# A# Cm Cm
In the lowland plot I was free
A# A#
Heaven and hell were words to me


Gm Gm F F
When, my, time comes around
A# A# Cm Cm
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm Gm F F
No grave can hold my body down
A# A#
I'll crawl home to her (Repeat chorus)


A# A# Cm Cm (x4)
