[Verse]
[A#5/F]Boys workin on empty[C5/G]
[A#5/F]Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?[C5/G]
[A#5/F]I just think about my baby[C5/G]
[A#5/F]I'm so full of love I could barely eat
[A#5/F]There's nothing sweeter than my baby[C5/G]
[A#5/F]I never want once from the cherry tree[C5/G]
[A#5/F]Cause my baby's sweet as can be[C5/G]
[A#5/F]She give me toothaches just from kissin me
[Cborus]
[Gm]When, my[Fmaj], time comes around
[A#/F]....Lay me gently in the cold dark [Cm/G]earth
[Gm]...No grave can [Fmaj]hold my body down
[A#/F]....I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 2]
[A#5/F]....That's when my baby found me[C5/G]
[A#5/F]I was three days on a drunken sin[C5/G]
[A#5/F]...I woke with her walls around me[C5/G]
[A#5/F]Nothin in her room but an empty crib
[A#5/F].....And I was burnin up a fever[C5/G]
I [A#5/F]didn't care much how long I lived[C5/G]
[A#5/F].....But I swear I thought I dreamed her[C5/G]
She [A#5/F]never asked me once about the wrong I did
[Cborus]
[Gm]When, my[Fmaj], time comes around
[A#/F]....Lay me gently in the cold dark [Cm/G]earth
[Gm]...No grave can [Fmaj]hold my body down
[A#/F]....I'll crawl home to her
[Cborus]
[Gm]When, my[Fmaj], time comes around
[A#/F]....Lay me gently in the cold dark [Cm/G]earth
[Gm]...No grave can [Fmaj]hold my body down
[A#/F]....I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 3]
[A#5/F].....My baby never fret none[C5/G]
A[A#5/F]bout what my hands and my body done[C5/G]
[A#5/F].....If the Lord don't forgive me[C5/G]
I'd [A#5/F]still have my baby and my babe would have me[C5/G]
[A#5/F].....When I was kissing on my baby[C5/G]
And [A#5/F]she put her love down soft and sweet[C5/G]
[A#5/F]....In the lowland plot I was [C5/G]free
Heaven and hell were words to me
[Cborus]
[Gm]When, my[Fmaj], time comes around
[A#/F]....Lay me gently in the cold dark [Cm/G]earth
[Gm]...No grave can [Fmaj]hold my body down
[A#/F]....I'll crawl home to her
[Cborus]
[Gm]When, my[Fmaj], time comes around
[A#/F]....Lay me gently in the cold dark [Cm/G]earth
[Gm]...No grave can [Fmaj]hold my body down
[A#/F]....I'll crawl home to her
