[Verse 1]
 
Bb                      Cm
  Boys workin' on empty
   Bb                                          Cm
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
Bb                           Cm
  I just think about my baby
    Bb
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
Bb                                     Cm
  There's nothing sweeter than my baby
    Bb                                   Cm
I'd never want once from the cherry tree
Bb                              Cm
  'Cause my baby's sweet as can be
    Bb
She give me toothaches just from kissin' me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Gm          F
   When, my, time comes around
Bb                                Cm
   Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm              F
   No grave can hold my body down
Bb
   I'll crawl home to her
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Bb                            Cm
  Boys, when my baby found me
Bb                                Cm
I was three days on a drunken sin
Bb                                Cm
  I woke with her walls around me
Bb
Nothin' in her room but an empty crib
Bb                             Cm
  And I was burnin' up a fever
  Bb                               Cm
I didn't care much how long I lived
Bb                                    Cm
  But I swear I thought I dreamed her
    Bb
She never asked me once about the wrong I did
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Gm          F
   When, my, time comes around
Bb                                Cm
   Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm              F
   No grave can hold my body down
Bb
   I'll crawl home to her     
 
Gm          F
   When, my, time comes around
Bb                                Cm
   Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm              F
   No grave can hold my body down
Bb
   I'll crawl home to her
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Bb                              Cm
  My babe would never fret none
 Bb                                  Cm
About what my hands and my body done
Bb                             Cm
  If the Lord don't forgive me
    Bb
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
Bb                             Cm
  When I was kissing on my baby
    Bb                                Cm
And she put her love down soft and sweet
Bb                            Cm
  In the low lamp light, I was free
Bb
Heaven and hell were words to me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Gm          F
   When, my, time comes around
Bb                                Cm
   Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm              F
   No grave can hold my body down
Bb
   I'll crawl home to her   
 
Gm          F
   When, my, time comes around
Bb                                Cm
   Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm              F
   No grave can hold my body down
Bb
   I'll crawl home to her
