[Intro]
F, G,F, G,F, G,F
[Verse 1]
F G
Boys workin on empty
F G
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
F G
I just think about my baby
F
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
[Verse 2]
F G
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
F G
I never want once from the cherry tree
F G
Cause my baby's sweet as can be
F
She give me toothaches just from kissin me
[Chorus]
G F
When, my, time comes around
Bb C
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
G F
No grave can hold my body down
Bb
I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 3]
F G
That's when my baby found me
F G
I was three days on a drunken sin
F G
I woke with her walls around me
F
Nothin in her room but an empty crib
[Verse 4]
F G
And I was burnin up a fever
F G
I didn't care much how long I lived
F G
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
F
She never asked me once about the wrong I did
[Chorus] X2
G F
When, my, time comes around
Bb C*
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
G F
No grave can hold my body down
Bb
I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 5]
F G
My baby never fret none
F G
About what my hands and my body done
F G
If the Lord don't forgive me
F
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
[Verse 6]
F G
When I was kissing on my baby
F G
And she put her love down soft and sweet
F G
In the lowland plot I was free
F
Heaven and hell were words to me
[Chorus] X2
G F
When, my, time comes around
Bb C
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
G F
No grave can hold my body down
Bb
I'll crawl home to her
[Outro]
F, G,F, G,F, G,F
