(2/4)

[Verse]
C
I'm a stone's throw from the mill
F C
And I'm a good walk to the river
F C
When my workin' day is over
Am C/B C
We'll go swim our cares away
C
Put your toes down in the water
F C
And a smile across your face
F C
And tell me that you love me
Am C/B C
Lovely Lady May
[Chorus]
Am C/B C
Now I ain't the sharpest chisel
F C
That your hands have ever held
Am C/B C
But darlin' I could love you well
F C
'Til the roll is called on high
Am C/B C
I've seen my share of trouble
F C
And I've held my weight in shame
F C
But I'm baptized in your name
Am C/B C
Lovely Lady May
[Instrumental]

(2/4)

[Verse]
C
Lord the wind can leave you shiverin'
F C
As it waltzes o'er the leaves
Am C/B C
It's been rushin' through my timber
F C
'Til your love brought on the spring
C
Now the mountains all are blushin'
F C
And they don't know what to say
Am C/B C
'Cept a good long line of praises
F C
For my lovely Lady May
[Chorus]
Am C/B C
Now I ain't the toughest hickory
F C
That your axe has ever felled
F C
But I'm a hickory just as well
Am C/B C
I'm a hickory all the same
Am C/B C
I came crashin' through the forest
F C
As you cut my roots away
F C
And I fell a good long ways
Am C/B C
For my lovely Lady May
[Outro]
