Send My Body

E
Well that judge he found me guilty 
of wrong doing
       A                      
And he sentenced me to hang in 
     E
mid-July
   E                               
He looked down at me and said your 
               C#7
life?s a ruin
F#                                
If I were you I'd break right down
     B7
 and cry
      E
But nobody seems to care that I 
ain't guilty
  A                             
I never did the things they said 
      E
I've done
      E                          
But I guess they're gonna have to 
          C#7
hang somebody
         F#              B7       
And it's lookin like I'm gonna be 
    E
the one

Well, my mama was one damn hard 
workin woman
And she tried to raise us kids 
without a paw
The last thing that she said she was
 on her dying bed
Was son don't get in trouble with 
the law
Whenever my time comes to meet my 
maker
I'm going to try to do my very best
I'm going try to stand and take it 
like a man
When they ask if I have one request
Well I?ll just say

Chorus

Just see they bury me out by mama's 
apple tree
And send my body back to my home 
town
