[Verse 1]
[D]The last
kind [Gm]words [D]I heard my daddy say
Lord, the last kind words [Am]I
heard my daddy [D]say[Am][D]
If [Gm]I die,

[Verse 2]
if [D]I die [Gm]in th[D]e German war
I want you to send my body,
send it [Am]to my mother, Lo[D]rd

[Verse 3]
[Am]If I[D] get killed, if I get killed,
[Gm]plea[D]se don't bury my soul
I p'fer just leave me out,
let [Am]the [D]buzzards eat me [Am]whole[D]

[Verse 4]
When [Gm]you see [D]me comin' look
'cross the rich man's field
If I don't bring you flour,
[Am]I'll bring you bolted [D]meal[Am]

[Interlude 1]

[Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 5]
I went to [D]the depot,
I looked up at the stars
Cried, some train don't come,
there'll [Am]be some walkin' d[D]one
[Am][D]

[Verse 6]
My mama told [Gm]me, j[D]ust before she died
Lord, precious daughter[Am], don't
you be so [D]wild[Am][D]

[Verse 7]
The Mis[Gm]sissippi [D]river,
you know it's deep and wide
I can stand right here,
see my babe [Am]from the other [D]side[Am][D]
What [F#m]you do

[Verse 8]
[D]to me baby
[F#m]it nev[D]er gets outta me
I may not see you after I cross
[Am]the [D]deep blue sea
[Am][D]
