[Verse 1]
 
Bb                    Cm
Boys working on empty 
Bb                                              Cm
is that the kind of way to face the burning heat 
Bb                         Cm
I just think about my baby 
Bb
I'm so full of love I can barely eat 
Bb                                   Cm
there's nothing sweeter than my baby 
Bb                                    Cm
I never want once from the cherry tree
Bb                              Cm
cause my baby's sweet as can be 
Bb
She gives me toothaches just from kissing 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
That's 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
Nothing in her room but an empty crib 
Bb                           Cm
and I was burning up a fever 
Bb                                  Cm
I didn't care much how long I lived 
Bb                             Cm
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 baby never fret none 
Bb                                     Cm
about what my hands and my body's 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
She put her love down soft and sweet  
Bb                              Cm
In the low lamp light I was free 
Bb
Heaven and Hell were just 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
