BBoys workin' on emptyCm
Is Bthat the kinda way to face the burning heat?Cm
BI just think about my babyCm
I'm Bso full of love I could barely eat
BThere's nothing sweeter than my babyCm
I'd Bnever want once from the cherry treeCm
B'Cause my baby's sweet as can Cmbe
She Bgive me toothaches just from kissin' me
GmWhen, my, Ftime comes around
BLay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth
GmNo grave can Fhold my body down
BI'll crawl home to her
BBoys, when my baby found meCm
BI was three days on a drunken sinCm
BI woke with her walls around meCm
BNothin' in her room but an empty crib
BAnd I was burnin' up a feverCm
I Bdidn't care much how long I livedCm
BBut I swear I thought I dreamed herCm
She Bnever asked me once about the wrong I did
GmWhen, my, Ftime comes around
BLay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth
GmNo grave can Fhold my body down
BI'll crawl home to her
GmWhen, my, Ftime comes around
BLay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth
GmNo grave can Fhold my body down
BI'll crawl home to her
BMy babe would never fret noneCm
BAbout what my hands and my body doneCm
BIf the Lord don't forgive meCm
I'd Bstill have my baby and my babe would have me
BWhen I was kissing on my babyCm
And Bshe put her love down soft and sweCmet
BIn the low lamp light, I was Cmfree
BHeaven and hell were words to me
GmWhen, my, Ftime comes around
BLay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth
GmNo grave can Fhold my body down
BI'll crawl home to her
GmWhen, my, Ftime comes around
BLay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth
GmNo grave can Fhold my body down
BI'll crawl home to her
