Last December I met a girl, she took a likin’ to me
C#m7 F#
Said she loved me, but she didn’t know the meanin’ of the word
F# F#m9 Amaj7
She imagined love to be grand, me holdin’ her hand and
E C#m7 F#
Wisperin’ sweet things and, cooin’ softly like a songbird
F# F#m9 Amaj7
Then one mornin’ she came to me, with a tear in her eye and a
E C#m7 F#
Sigh on her breath Lord she said, "Hon, I’m heavy with child"

I said "God damn girl can’t you see, that I’m breakin’ my back
E C#m7 F#
Just tryin’ to keep my head above water, and it’s turnin’ me wild

Rockin’ chair on the front porch, and I’m thinkin’ about all the
C#m7 F#
things that I did as a young man, now that I’m old
F# F#m9 Amaj7 E
I remember her and the boy, did he have all the toys and the joys

That a young man should have, before he gets too old
