[G#m] [C#] [G#m] [F#]
[C#]
I'd [G#m] rather be dead than [G#] in my hobbled [C#] tomb, hobbled tomb.
So [G#m] here's [F#] my woman, [G#m]
[C#] some man done taken my room, taken my room.
I'd rather be the devil [G#m] than [C#] be that woman's man, that woman's man.
See, [C#m] woman, I love thee, woman, I love [G#] thee, woman, I love thee.
[C#] Don't pay me no mind, pay me no mind.
Go [G#m] on, pack [C#] my things and [G#m] go on, [C#] further down the line, down the line.
[C#m] See, done last night, I, done last night, I lay [G#] down last night, and [G#m] I [C#] tried to take my rest.
Oh, mom, Dr.
Ramlin' [G#m] like [C#] the wild geese from the west, from the west.
See, death was [F#]
[G#m] evil, [C#] changed my baby's mind, baby's mind.
You [C#m] be my woman, be my woman, you be my [G#m] woman.
I'll tell [C#] you what I will do, I will do.
[G#m] I'll cut [C#] your [G#m] killing, I [C#] will beat your father, beat your father.
[G#] I'll toot your bottom [C#] from the bogey bar, bogey bar.
[G#m] See, [C#] woman, I love I, [G#m] stole [C#] her from my best friend, my best friend.
[G#m] Oh, he [C#] got lucky, [G#m] stole [C#] her back again, back again.
