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