[Intro] Bb Cm x8 [Verse]
Bb Boys workin on empty Cm Is Bbthat the kinda way to face the burning heat?Cm Bb I just think about my baby Cm I'm Bbso full of love I could barely eat Bb There's nothing sweeter than my baby Cm I Bbnever want once from the cherry tree Cm Bb Cause my baby's sweet as can Cmbe She Bbgive me toothaches just from kissin me
[Chorus]
Gm When, my,F time comes around Bb Lay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth Gm No grave can Fhold my body down Bb I'll crawl home to her
[Verse]
Bb Boys, when my baby found me Cm BbI was three days on a drunken sin Cm Bb I woke with her walls around me Cm BbNothin in her room but an empty crib Cm Bb And I was burnin up a fever Cm I Bbdidn't care much how long I lived Cm Bb But I swear I thought I dreamed her Cm She Bbnever asked me once about the wrong I did
[Chorus]
Gm When, my,F time comes around Bb Lay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth Gm No grave can Fhold my body down Bb I'll crawl home to her
Gm When, my,F time comes around Bb Lay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth Gm No grave can Fhold my body down Bb I'll crawl home to her
[Verse]
Bb My baby never fret none Cm ABbbout what my hands and my body done Cm Bb If the Lord don't forgive me Cm I'd Bbstill have my baby and my babe would have me Bb When I was kissing on my baby Cm And Bbshe put her love down soft and sweet Cm Bb In the low lamp light, I wasCm free BbHeaven and hell were words to me
[Chorus]
Gm When, my,F time comes around Bb Lay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth Gm No grave can Fhold my body down Bb I'll crawl home to her
Gm When, my,F time comes around Bb Lay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth Gm No grave can Fhold my body down Bb I'll crawl home to her
[Outro] Bb Cm x4
