the church bells are ringing, the [Ebm] secretary's singing, [Eb] the preacher's preaching, can't you
hear the sisters shouting, [Ab] children in the coffins, mama's trying to [Eb] learn my song,
[Bb] and
I've got a dirty beak and I throw my gallows [Eb] on.
Said my older [Ab] brother had it, [Eb] my sister had it, my auntie had it, and my ma, my daddy

Said I need more fire water, well that's the weather, I suffered in the summer and I struggled
through the [Ab] fall, I got more boys baby, more than the good [Eb] Lord ever done.

[Eb] so give me back the hat I
bought you, I don't sue that [Ebm] ring, the shoes [Eb] I bought you, and all those other fine stuff.
There's been [Ab] a moment of awe baby, there's no need to [Eb] carry on.
So [Bb] give me back the wig I bought you, and that dog on the head you'll [Eb] call.

She wouldn't cook [Ebm] me no breakfast, [Eb] or fix me no lunch, she'd squabble over dinner, and

[Ab] She had a nerve to ask me would a matchbox hold [Eb] my clothes.

So the church bells were ringing, the secretary sang, the preacher's picture can't you hear
the sister shouting, [Ab] children in the pulpit, mama trying to learn [Eb] my song.
[Bb] And I'd load on dirty teak and I stole [Ab] my gal [Eb] and gone.
[Ebm] [Eb] Yeah they were [Bb] all over the country and tried to sell some of [Eb] my jellied rose.
