Then the Emfamily was my daddy
And Dme and Judy EmMae

He'd Emtell me to take care of my new mama
She's the Dapple of his eye
And as he Emkissed his brand new wife goodbye

[Intro]

Em Em7

(x5)

[Verse]

As an only child of seventeen

It hurt when my momma died

When my daddy got home just a few days later

Well, he broke right down and cried

But after a year he up and wed

A girl that was half his age

Then the family was my daddy

D Em

And me and Judy Mae

[Verse]

Well, my daddy did a lot of traveling around

And before he would say goodbye

He'd tell me to take care of my new mama

She's the apple of his eye

And as he kissed his brand new wife goodbye

I always used to hear him say

Look after my boy

D Em

Won't you please, now, Judy Mae

[Chorus]

Judy Mae

D A Am

Oh, she sure had a way of looking after me

Em D

Yes, her eyes would sparkle and shine

A Am B

Every time Papa got ready to leave

[Verse]

Well, one night while my daddy was gone

She tiptoed into my room

She said that she had to talk to me

Cause my dad was gonna be home soon

She said, you know I get so lonely and cold

When your daddy is gone for days

Em D Em

What a boy like you could do to Judy Mae

[Verse]

Well, I told her that I'd never done this before

And then she took my hand

And showed me all of the secret things

That turned a boy into a man

And as I lay there by her side

I heard a noise at the window pane

Em D

I think that's just the wind

Said Judy Mae

[Chorus]

Judy Mae

D A Am

Oh, she sure had a way of looking after me

Em D

Yes, her eyes would sparkle and shine

A Am B

Every time Papa got ready to leave

[Verse]

Well, the next day Daddy had an accident

And two days later, he died

The sheriff said my Daddy could drive too good to even

Try to take a turn that wide

But thinking back now I begin to wonder

To this very day

If it was him, not the wind

D Em

That saw me with Judy Mae

If it was him, not the wind

D Em

That saw me with Judy Mae
