G F Well in the early autumn wind a lonely dove is flyin' G D G Mournin' for his one true love, he can't be blamed for cryin' G D G He can't be blamed for cryin' G F Well the rooster, he got 20 gals, bet he's happy as a lark G D G
Well he wake em in the mornin' time, put em all to bed at dark G D G Put em all to bed at dark Chorus: G Well if you been true, well if you been true F You better look me in the eyes G Well all I smell is cheap perfume G F G 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 made for diggin' dirt and an axe is made for choppin' And darlin' my heart's hard as nails they hammer in a hardwood coffin In a hardwood coffin Chorus Well way down in the bottom land, a big black crow is laughin' No one dares to go down there, wonder what has happened Wonder what has happened Well in the early Autumn wind a lonely dove is cryin' Mournin' for his one true love, he can't be blamed for cryin' He can't be blamed for cryin' Chorus Chorus
