I'd rather [Eb] sleep in a box like a bum on the [Bb] street
than a [Eb] fine [Ab] feather bed without your little old [Bb] cold feet.
And I'd rather [Eb] be deaf, dumb, [Bb] stone blind
than to know that [Ab] your morning will [Bb]
never [Eb] be mine.
And I'd rather die young than live [Bb] without you.
And I'd rather [Ab] go hungry than eat a [Bb] lonesome stew.
You know it's once [Eb] in a lifetime [Bb] and [Eb] it won't [Bb] come again.
It's here and [Ab] it's gone
[Bb] on a magnolia [Eb] wind.
I'd rather [Db] not
[Ab] walk through the garden [Eb] again
if I can't catch [Bb] your scent on a [Eb] magnolia wind.

So if it ever comes time, that it comes time [Bb] to go,
sis pack up [Ab] your fiddle, sis pack up [Bb] your bow.
[Eb]
[Bb] If I can't dance [Eb] with you, then I won't be dancing [Bb] on.
I just sit this [Ab] one out
[Bb] with my back to [Eb] the wall.
I'd rather [Db] not
[Ab] hear pretty music [Eb] again
if I can't catch [Bb] your fiddle on a [Eb] magnolia wind.
If I can't catch [Bb] your scent on a [Eb] magnolia wind.
