[Verse 1]
             
Boys working o

heat
             
I just think a

                 
bout my baby
             
I’m so full of

              
 love I can ba


rely eat
             
There’s nothin

              
g sweeter than

         
 my baby
             
I never want o

              
nce from the c

           
herry tree
             
Cause my baby’

She gives me t

oothaches just

 from kissing 

me

[Chorus]
           
When my time c

omes around
             
Lay me gently

Nothin' in her

              
 room but an e

            
mpty crib
             
And I was burn

I didn't care 

              
much how long 

            
I lived
             
But I swear I

She never aske

d me once abou

[Bridge]
             
My baby never

About what my
