Verse 1
(B flat major) Boys, workin' on empty (C minor)
Is (B flat major) that the kinda way
to face the burning heat? (C minor)
(B flat major) I just think about my baby (C minor)
I'm (B flat major) so full of love I could barely eat
(B flat major) There's nothing sweeter than my baby (C minor)
I'd (B flat major) never want once from the cherry tree (C minor)
(B flat major) 'Cause my baby's sweet as can (C minor) be
She (B flat major) give me toothaches just from kissin' me

Verse 2
I'll crawl home to her
(B flat major) Boys, when my baby found me (C minor)
(B flat major) I was three days on a drunken sin (C minor)
(B flat major) I woke with her walls around me (C minor)
(B flat major) Nothin' in her room but an empty crib
(B flat major) And I was burnin' up a fever (C minor)
I (B flat major) didn't care much how long I lived (C minor)
(B flat major) But I swear I thought I dreamed her (C minor)
She (B flat major) never asked me once

I'll crawl home to her
(B flat major) My baby never fret none (C minor)
A (B flat major) bout what my hands and my body done (C minor)
(B flat major) If the Lord don't forgive me (C minor)
I'd (B flat major) still have my baby
and my babe would have me
(B flat major) When I was kissing on my baby (C minor)
And (B flat major) she put her love down soft and sweet (C minor)
(B flat major) In the low lamp light I was (C minor) free
(B flat major) Heaven and hell were words to me
Chorus 3
(G minor) When my (F major) time comes around (B flat major)
