Marlon Williams - Traveling creature

I ^Gam a travelling creature, traveling through this ^Cland I ^Gserve as but a warning to woman and to^C man I ^Gsaw a weeping woman in a far-off distant ^Cland I ^Ggave to her my warning and she gave to me her ^Emhand

Oh ^GMother, come and hold my ^Chand Oh M^Gother, hold up my dying ^Emhand 'Fore this ^Emdeath has ^Em7laid its^C hand on^G me

^GI asked that weeping woman if she ever tried to ^Cpray She ^Gsaid "I tried this morning but the spirit said '^CToo late'" Now my ^Gparents, they never once taught me all about the ways of ^Chell But the ^Gways that this death has taught me no human tongue can^Em tell

Oh^G Mother, come and hold my ^Chead Oh^G Mother, hold up my dying ^Chand Oh ^GMother, come and hold my ^Chand Oh ^GMother, hold up my dying ^Emhand 'Fore this ^Emdeath has ^Em7laid its ^Chand on ^Gme 'Fore this d^Emeath has ^Em7laid its ^Chand on ^Gme
