[Db] [Eb]
I was standing at [Cm] my window on [Eb] one cool and cloudy day
When I saw that first drum a-rollin'
Oh, to carry my baby away
The
[Gb] [Eb] young folk in passing [Ab] by
Had some trade [Eb] of love awaiting
Lord, [Bb] up [Eb] in heaven in the sky
Lord, I'm told to [Ab] undertake a, [Cm] undertake [Ab] a
Please [Eb] drive slow, quarter later
That you are haulin' though I hate to see your [Dm] door
[Ab]
[Bbm] [Eb] Well, that's certainly [Ab] unbroken
Riding by, Lord, [Eb] riding by
Had some trade of love awaiting
Lord, up in heaven in [Ab] the [Eb] sky
I was far, so close [Ab] behind
Trying to hold up [Bb] and be [Eb] strong
But I could not hold my sorrow
When they laid her in a grave
I just could not keep up
I could not hold back no more
Later in a tune, [Gm] I [Eb] just could not
Lead my baby
