Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm lookin' funny in my eyes and I believe
I'm fixin' to die, believe I'm fixin' to die
I'm lookin' [C]funny in my eyes and I
[Gm]believe [C]I'm fixin' [G]to die
I know I was born to die but I
hate to leave my children cryin'
Just as sho' as we livin', just as sho' we born to
die, sho' we born to die
Just as sho' as we livin',
sho' we born to die
I know I was born to die
but I hate to leave my children cryin'
Your mother treated me, children, like I was her baby child,
was her baby child
Your mother [C]treated me like I
was her baby [G]child
That's why's I [C]find it so hard [G]to come back
[C]home[G]
[Gm]to d[G]ie[C]
[G][Gm]
[G]
So many nights [C]at the [G]fireside,
how my children's mother [C]would [G]cry,
How my [Gm]children's mother
[G]would cry
So many [C]nights at the fireside,
how my children's mother would [G]cry
Cause I told the mother I
had to say goodbye
Look over yonder, [Gm]on t[G]he burying ground,
on the burying ground
Look [C]over yonder,
on the burying [G]ground
Yon' stand ten thousand,
standin' still to [C]let me [G]down
Mother take [C]my chil[G]dren back, before they let me down,
be[Gm]fore they [G]let me down
Mother [C]take my children back,
'fore they let me [G]down
I don't need for them to screamin'
and cryin' on the [C]graveyard [G]ground
