Last December I met a girl, she took a likin’ to me
A#m7 D#
Said she loved me, but she didn’t know the meanin’ of the word
D# D#m9 F#maj7
She imagined love to be grand, me holdin’ her hand and
C# A#m7 D#
Wisperin’ sweet things and, cooin’ softly like a songbird
D# D#m9 F#maj7
Then one mornin’ she came to me, with a tear in her eye and a
C# A#m7 D#
Sigh on her breath Lord she said, "Hon, I’m heavy with child"
D# D#m9 F#maj7
I said "God damn girl can’t you see, that I’m breakin’ my back
C# A#m7 D#
Just tryin’ to keep my head above water, and it’s turnin’ me wild
D# G# A# D#
Cinderella can’t you see, don’t want your company
D# G#
You better leave this mornin’ leave today,
A# G# D#
take your love and your child away
D# D#m9
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;
F#maj7 C#
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;
A#m7 D#
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no
D# A#m7 D#
Woh, woh, woh...etc. Woh, woh, woh, no
D# D#m9 F#maj7 C#
Rockin’ chair on the front porch, and I’m thinkin’ about all the
A#m7 D#
things that I did as a young man, now that I’m old
D# D#m9 F#maj7 C#
I remember her and the boy, did he have all the toys and the joys
A#m7 D#
That a young man should have, before he gets too old
D# G# A# D#
Cinderella couldn’t you see, I didn’t want your company
D# G# A#
G#
Shoulda left that mornin, left that day, took your love and your child...
D#
away
