[1] I am an old [4] woman [1] named after my [4] mother [1] My old man is a-[4]-nother [5] child that's grown [1] old [5] [1] If dreams were [4] lightning, [1] thunder were de-[4]-sire [1] This old house would have [4] burnt down a [5] long time a-[1]-go [5]
[1] Make me an [b7] angel that [4] flies from Mont-[1]-gomery Make me a [b7] poster of an [4] old rode-[1]-o [5] Just give me [b7] one thing that [4] I can hold on [1] to To believe in this [4] livin' is just a [5] hard way to [1] go
When I was a young girl, well I had me a cowboy He weren't much to look at just a free ramblin' man But that was a long time and no matter how I try The years just flow by like a broken-down dam
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzing And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today How the hell can a person go to work in the morning And come home in the evening and have nothing to say
