Well early in the autumn when, the lovely dove was flying
Mourning for his one true love, He can?t be blamed for crying
he can?t be blamed for crying
Well the rooster he got 20 gals, well he?s happy as a lark
Well he woke up in the morning time, put ?em all to bed at dark
Put ?em all to bed at dark
Well if you?d been true, if you?d been true
You better look me in the eye
All I smell, is cheap perfume
And Gin, and Smoke, and Lies
Well Where were you last Saturday, all dressed up so pretty
With your blue eyed ballroom boy, in Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City
Well a spade is for digging dirt, and an axe is made for chopping
Darling my hearts hard as nails they hammer in a hardwood coffin
in a hardwood coffin
Chorus SOLO
Ah way down in the bottom land, a big black crow is laughing
No One ever go down there, wonder what has happened
wonder what has happened
Well early in the autumn when, the lovely dove was flying
Mourning for his one true love, He can?t be blamed for crying
he can?t be blamed for crying
Chorus X 2
