G G F D C B♭ B♭
Body's workin on empty
F F G B♭ G B♭ G G F B♭ B♭ C
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
G D C B♭B♭ G B♭ C
I just think about my baby
F F B♭ G B♭ G F B♭B♭ G F
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
D F F G F D C B♭ B♭
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
F F G B♭ B♭ G F B♭ B♭ C
I never want once from the cherry tree
D G F B♭ D C B♭ B♭
Cause my baby's sweet as can be
F F G B♭ B♭ G F B♭ B♭ G
She give me toothaches just from kissin me
[Chorus:]
D D D B♭ C C
When, my, time comes around
D C D C B♭ B♭ D C B♭
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
D D B♭ D B♭ B♭ C B♭
No grave can hold my body down
B♭ D D C B♭
I'll crawl home to her
G G F D C B♭ B♭
Boys, when my baby found me
F G B♭ B♭ G F B♭ B♭ C
I was three days on a drunken sin
B♭ D C B♭ B♭ G B♭ B♭
I woke with her walls around me
F G B♭ G B♭ G F B♭ B♭ G
Nothin in her room but an empty crib
D F F G F D C B♭B♭
And I was burnin up a fever
F F G B♭ B♭ G B♭ C B♭
I didn't care much how long I lived
B♭ D C B♭ B♭ B♭ C B♭
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
F FG B♭ G B♭ G G F B♭ B♭ G F
She never asked me once about the wrong I did
[Chorus:]
D D D B♭ C C
When, my, time comes around
D C D C B♭ B♭ D C B♭
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
D D B♭ D B♭ B♭ C B♭
No grave can hold my body down
B♭ D D C B♭
I'll crawl home to her
[Chorus:]

Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

I'll crawl home to her
G G F D C B♭ B♭
My babe would never fret none
F F B♭ G B♭ G F B♭ B♭ G
About what my hands and my body done
C D D C B♭ G B♭ C
If the Lord don't forgive me
F F B♭ G B♭ B♭ B♭ G B♭ G B♭ G F
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
D F F G F D C C C
When I was kissing on my baby
F F B♭ G B♭ G B♭ C C
And she put her love down soft and sweet
G G F B♭ D C B♭ B♭
In the low lamp light I was free
F G B♭ B♭ G F B♭ B♭ G F
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
