E Em9 Gmaj7 D
Last December I met a girl, she took a likin’ to me
Bm7 E
Said she loved me, but she didn’t know the meanin’ of the word
E Em9 Gmaj7
She imagined love to be grand, me holdin’ her hand and
D Bm7 E
Wisperin’ sweet things and, cooin’ softly like a songbird
E Em9 Gmaj7
Then one mornin’ she came to me, with a tear in her eye and a
D Bm7 E
Sigh on her breath Lord she said, "Hon, I’m heavy with child"
E Em9 Gmaj7
I said "God damn girl can’t you see, that I’m breakin’ my back
D Bm7 E
Just tryin’ to keep my head above water, and it’s turnin’ me wild
E A B E
Cinderella can’t you see, don’t want your company

You better leave this mornin’ leave today,
B A E
take your love and your child away
E Em9
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;
Bm7 E
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no
E Bm7 E
Woh, woh, woh...etc. Woh, woh, woh, no
E Em9 Gmaj7 D
Rockin’ chair on the front porch, and I’m thinkin’ about all the
Bm7 E
things that I did as a young man, now that I’m old
E Em9 Gmaj7 D
I remember her and the boy, did he have all the toys and the joys
Bm7 E
That a young man should have, before he gets too old
E A B E
Cinderella couldn’t you see, I didn’t want your company
E A B
A
Shoulda left that mornin, left that day, took your love and your child...
E
away
