[Cm] [Bb] [Cm]
[Bb] I'm so [C] [Bb] full of love I could barely eat
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
[Cm] I'm so full of love I could barely eat
[Bb] I'd never want once from the cherry [Cm] tree
[Bb] My baby's sweet [C] as can be
[G] She'd give me two flakes [F] just from kissing me
[G] When [F] my time comes [Bb] around
Lay me gently [Cm] in the cold, dark earth
[Bb] No grave [F] can hold my body [Bb] down
I'll crawl home to her
First thing my baby found [C] me
[Gm] I was [Bb] three days on a drunken [C] sin
[Bb] I woke with the [F] walls around [C] me
[Bb] Nothing in her room but an empty [G] crib
[Bb] I was burning up a fever
[Cm] [Gm] I didn't [Bb] care much how long I [Cm] lived
[Bb] But I swear I thought I dreamed [Cm] her
[Bb] She never asked me once about the wrong I did
[Gm] When [F] my time comes [Bb] around
Lay me gently in the cold, [Cm] dark earth
[G] No grave [F] can hold my body [Bb] down
I'll crawl home to her
[Gm] When [F] my time comes [Bb] around
Lay me gently in the cold, [Cm] dark earth
[G] No grave [F] can hold my body [Bb] down
I'll crawl home to her
I, he, would never fret [C] none
[Bb] About what my hands and my body [C] done
[Bb] If the Lord don't forgive [C] me
[Bb] I'd still have my baby and my baby would have me
But I was kissing on my [C] baby
[Bb] And she put her love down soft [C] and sweet
[Bb] In the lonely light [C] I was [Ebm] free
Heaven [Db] and hell were words to me
[Gm] When [F] my time comes [Bb] around
Lay me gently in the cold, [Cm] dark earth
[Gm] No grave [F] can hold my body [Bb] down
I'll crawl home to her
[Gm] [F] When my time comes [Bb] around
Lay me gently in the cold, [Eb] dark earth
[Gm] No grave [F] can hold my body [Bb] down
I'll crawl home to her
