G5
 Pretty child come here to me   Listen to my story 
D5                         G5
 Won't you sit down on my knee
G5                                
 Your eyes are like your mother's    And your mother's mother's
D5                          G5
 Deeper than the deep blue sea

C5                 G5
 All them girls I used to love
D5                 G5 
 By the fire all alone I sit dreaming of
C5                 G5
 All them girls I used to hold
D5                       G5
 I made their love turn cold

These old bones are aching
These old hands are shaking
Lord I can't see the page
Sing me the song I taught you
Fetch my wine and water
Never thought I'd reach this stage

All them girls I used to know
Like a fool acting smart I let them go
All them girls a long time gone
I lost them one by one

All them girls with their creamy skin
What I'd give just to have one in my arms again
Oh my girl when you start to play
Don't give your heart away

All them girls I used to kiss
I don't know how my days all came down to this
All them girls I used to hold
I made their love turn cold

Oh my girl when you start to play
Don't give your heart away
