[Verse 1]
When [D]I left home and
went to [Em]see the world
I [A]left behind a very beau[D]tiful girl
And old John Amos jumped
for [Em]joy that day
He had [A]wanted my girl,
not nothing [D]stood in his way
And old John Amos he [Em]was slick and sly
He told a [A]lie on me
and made my [D]little girl [A]cry
Now [D]old John Amos thought
he [Em]had it in me
And [A]every night he went to [D]see my babe
He kept her believing that I [Em]was no doubt
He [A]made her believe another [D]girl I found
If I'd have a ring to try and [Em]win her heart
In the [A]letters I wrote,
well, [D]she tore them all apart
[A]An d while I was a [D]-roamin' around
[A]I got to thinkin' about that g[D]irl of mine
[A]An d why she wasn't [D]right in me
[Em]I got the urge to go[A] home and see,
well [D]I was a dumb but a w[Em]eakin' thing
This [A]love of my heart won't [D]let me stay
When I got home
I could have [Em]fell off the dais
[A]When she told me what [D]Johnny was saying
[A]Johnny was told the lie[D]s were heard
[A]He done me dirty while
my [D]back was turned
[A]But now I'm haunted,
now [D]don't you cry
I'm [E]gonna fix him up,
I'm gonna [A]flag in his eye
[D]Then something told
me from [Em]down inside
That if I [A]never left, he could nev[D]er lie
And it had been me who
had [Em]done the wrong
Just to [A]thank the Lord
that I had [D]come back home
Be[A]fore John Amos got my [D]girl and gone
To [A]thank the Lord that I had [D]come back home
I [A]thank the Lord that I have [D]come back home
I [A]thank the Lord that I have [D]come back home
I [A]thank the Lord that I have
[D]come back home
[A]I thank the Lord that I have come back home
