Intro:
A
I got this graveyard woman, you know she keeps my kid
But my soulful mama, you know she keeps me hid
E A
She's a junkyard angel and she always gives me bread
F# A
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.
A
Well, when the pipeline gets broken and I'm lost on the river bridge
I'm cracked up on the highway and on the water's edge
E A
She comes down the thruway ready to sew me up with thread
F# A
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.
A
Well, she don't make me nervous, she don't talk too much
She walks like Bo Diddley and she don't need no crutch
E A
She keeps this four-ten all loaded with lead
F# A
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.
A
Well, you know I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
E A
She brings me everything and more, and just like I said
F# A
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.
