[Fm] This song is about a horse accident in which a girl was all but killed.
We're Goodnight Texas, by the way.
Thank you to Relics for having us on this lovely summer's afternoon.
[F]
Revelation dust from the horse that she was riding
Made it hard to see her through the tepid summer [Bbm] air
And [F] I wore my finest derby hat to gather her attention
And I wanted something more than to follow her somewhere
And it took her near a year to break the shackles of a past love
I said she never heard as long as she's with me
From a cold winter wall to a springtime window
[Dm] There's [Bb] warm hearts living where [C] you'd never think [F] they'd be
Lord let me die first, I can't be without her
I hope I never live to see her casket [Bb] lined with lace
And [F] she deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker, you can take me in her place
And
[Bb]
[F]
[C] [F]
[Dm] I heard the people talk [F] about a girl thrown from her [Dm] horse
Down from the [F] saddle in a terrible [Dm] display
And the blood had stained the dirt, [F] and the dirt had skimmed the [Dm] girl
And the girl, they didn't think that she [F] would live another day
[Dm] Lord let me die first, [Fm] I can't be without [Dm] her
I hoped I'd never [Fm] live to see her casket lined with lace
[Bb] And she deserves to thrive [F] on this earth a little longer
[Dm] If you need another worker, [C] you can take me in her [F] place
And
[Dm] she deserves [F] to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker, you can take me in her place
Lord let me die first, I can't be without [Bb] her
I hoped I'd [F] never live to see her casket [Dm] lined with lace
[F] And she deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker, you can take me in her place
Lord let me die first
Lord
[Dm] [F] let me die first
Well [C] [F]
thank you

[D] [Em] [G]
[Db]
[G] haven't got a penny, [C] haven't got a dime
But I know how to have a [Ab] good old time
I ain't got a dollar, baby when I do
Gonna go and spend it all on [N] you
When we get the money, we can run away
Sing a little song [D] about [E] yesterday
They're never gonna catch me long as I'm alive
You and me together, we'll survive
[A] [G]
Honey in the pantry, put it in the tea
Stir it with a spoon for you and me
Sitting in the parlor, waiting for your mom
You're the best gal I ever saw
When we get the money, we can run away
I don't give a holla what they say
They're never gonna find us till the day we die
You and me together, we'll get [Em] by

Putting on your dress and looking mighty [Em] fine
Lacquer in my shoes [G] until they shine
You can have my heart if I can have your hand
I can make your daddy understand
I haven't got a penny, haven't got a dime
But I know how to have a good old time
I ain't got a dollar, baby when I do
I'm gonna go and spend it all on [A] you
[B] Break the [D] [Em] lockbox, get [D] the [Em] gold
Just as much [D] as I can [A] hold
Out [Em] the door, to the car
All together, we'll go far
[G] [Em] [G]

[D] [Em] [G] This is a hold up, mama
