It was early in the morning when the battle horse arrived.
Bm F#m D G

Bm F#m D G
And Sarah hugged Billy, who was born of her sweet, sweet womb

And no-no-no-nobody shall die,

And no-no-no-nobody shall die,

Bm F#m D G
But, oh baby, baby I know, I know that the night's too slow,

And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
D G
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,

'Til I've got money in my hand,
D F#m
'Til I've got money in my hand,
D F#m
Oh I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
D F#m
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
D F#m
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
D F#m
But it don't mean nothing man, nothing man, until you got some money in your hand,
Oh oh...
D F#m
