Child, please don't worry 
A                                             E
There will be plenty of time now to find your eye
A
He's been calling her to bed 
C#minor
To come make a home and start again 
B                     A                 E
Well she ain't coming back and you know why  


E
It's a hard life we're living 
A                                             E
I want to lay down here right next to you and die 
A                                                          
But it ain't no family stone that's gonna 
C#minor
bring your baby home 
               B               A        E
Well she ain't coming back and you know why  


A
We've been praying out on gravel roads 
A                                E
You know we ain't gonna waste no time 
A
Parading our hearts from door to door 
A                            E
Well we ain't gonna waste no time 


B
It's a high lonesome road to hold 
B
But I'm not going to change at all 
B                                                                           
No you ain't gonna see me 
B                       E
Hang this here head and cry  



A , E , B , A , E


E
Child, don't get behind me 
A                                   E
It's hard enough to fake but lord I try 
A                                                       
I'd hate to miss my chance to use the 
C#minor
phone and make amends 
     B                A               E
Well she ain't coming back so I don't try
