[Verse 1]
I Amlive in a town called Millhaven And it's small and it's mean and it's Dmcold
But if you come around just as the sun goes down
You can watch the whole thing turn to Amgold GIt's around about then that I G7used to go a-roaming
[Hook]
Singing CLa la la la AmLa la la lie DmAll God's children they E7all gotta Amdie
[Verse 2]
My Amname is Loretta, but I prefer Lottie I'm closing in on my fifteenth Dmyear
If you think you have seen a pair of eyes more green
Then you sure haven't see them around Amhere GWell my hair is a-yeller' and I'm G7always a-combing
[Hook]

[Hook]
CLa la la la AmLa la la lie DmEven little Billy Blakey's boy, E7he had to Amdie

[Hook]
CLa la la la AmLa la la lie Even DmGod's little creatures, E7they have to Amdie

CLa la la la AmLa la la lie The Dmyoung ones and the old ones, E7they all gotta Amdie
[Verse 7]
Yes, it Amis I, Lottie, The Curse Of Millhaven I've struck horror in the heart of this Dmtown

It's more like the other way aAmround I got a Gpretty little mouth underG7neath all the foaming
[Hook]
CLa la la la AmLa la la lie DmSooner or later, we E7all gotta Amdie
[Verse 8]
Since AmI was no bigger than a weevil they've been saying I was evil That if "bad" was a boot that I'd Dmfit it

[Hook]
CLa la la la AmLa la la lie Well a Dmrich man and a poor man, they E7all gotta Amdie
[Verse 12]
