Gm-f-dm


Gm when i was a boy there were fifteen a-people in the world

F fifteen a-bound for dm heaven, and gm fifteen a-bound for hell

Gm and the devil come 'round, yeah he jump on my bed

Say you got to f leave me alone dm you got to gm give me some rest


But i f gather my lead, and i gm gather my spool

And i f burn it all with sulphur 'til the c7 devil did what we gm feared


And we fly through the night, under the mercury moon

So i could watch you sleep and dream a-in your room


When i was a boy, a-there were fifteen people in the world

I had a bowl for my sweetheart, and a fiddle to raise the devil from hell

I could play a swwet tune, or make my sweetheart laugh

I could shake a blackbird from the highest tree branch


I was half a boy, i was half a jack

Jimmy? donner? was full of man, most of which is bad


You know he shot a man that had my father's face

And he geld a woman down who had my sister's name


When i was a boy, a-there were fifteen people in the world

And the lovers would lie in the long tall grass by the railroad track

And the angels come down, they make the rails to sing

I put my ears to the tracks, and they tell me things


That a train would come with a fiery roar

Reeks in heaven into hell into a long black trail of smoke



And the earth would shake with the escaping steam

And the train would make a thunder to drown out any scream


Hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm


When i was a boy, a-there were a-fifteen people in the world

A-fifteen bound for heaven, and fifteen bound for hell

And the lovers would lie in a box o' pine

And the doctor come 'round, to flick coins on their eyes


I'm a preacher man now, i've got my place on earth

'cause i have heard the voices from beyond this world


I'm a preacher man now, i've got my place in hell

'cause i have heard the voices no man should live to tell

'cause i have heard the voices no man should live to tell


Huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh


Huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh
