Eb5 F5 Boys working on empty, Eb5 Is that the kind of way F5 To face the burning heat? Eb5 F5 I just think about my baby, Eb5 I’m so full of love, I could barely eat. Eb5 F5 There’s nothing sweeter than my baby. Eb5 F5 I’d never want once from the cherry tree Eb5 F5 ’Cause my baby’s sweet as can be, Eb5 She give me toothaches Just from kissing me. Chorus: Cm Bb7 Eb When my time comes around, Fm Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth. Cm Bb7 No grave can hold my body down, Eb I’ll crawl home to her. That’s when my baby found me, I was three days On a drunken sin. I woke with her walls around me, Nothing in her room But an empty crib. And I was burning up a fever, I didn’t care Much how long I lived. But I swear I thought I dreamed her, She never asked me Once about the wrong I did. Chorus: When my time comes around, Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth. No grave can hold my body down I’ll crawl home to her. When my time comes around, Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth. No grave can hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to her. My baby never fret none About what my hands And my body done. If the Lord don’t forgive me, I’d still have my baby, And my babe would have me. When I was kissing On my baby, And she put her love down soft and sweet, In the low lamplight I was free, Heaven and Hell Were words to me. Chorus: When my time comes around, Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth. No grave can hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to her. When my time comes around, Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth. No grave can hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to her. Instrumental: Eb5 Eb5 Eb5 F5 } ×4 Eb5
