Bb Boys workin on empty Cm
Is Bbthat the kinda way to face the burning heat?Cm

Bb Cause my baby's sweet as can Cmbe
She Bbgive me toothaches just from kissin me

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

Bb Lay me gently in the cold dark Cmearth
Gm No grave can Fhold my body down
Bb I'll crawl home to her

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
