Gm-f-dm
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

Gm
