She was the Amsmiling girl,
It could lAmight up the world,
And well did she kGnow,
That she had a hAmold on a man,
The more that she sAmhowed to a man,
The more she contrGolled,
‘Cause she was the smAmiling girl,
They said, “Keep Amaway from the girl,
She’ nothin’ but Cbad nEews.”
And she had a jAmealous man,
Said she wanted rAmid of him,
She lay by my sGide,
An’ he was the haAmrd-workin’ kind,
Nothin’ but Amher on his mind,
She was his prGize,
‘Cause she was the smAmiling girl,
Said, “What do you wAmant from me girl,
Blood on my hCands?E”
And oAmh boy, you were waCrned this would hGappen!
And Amoh lord, you’d have kCnown this was cGomin,
AmYeah, he came out lookin’ for her,
CHe found us both together,
EBeware the wrath of the jealous mAman,
If he could not be with her,
CThen she could be with no other,
EAnd so it is and will always Ambe.

She was the smiling girl,

It could light up the world,

And well did she know,

That she had a hold on a man,

The more that she showed to a man,

The more she controlled,

‘Cause she was the smiling girl,

They said, “Keep away from the girl,

C E

She’ nothin’ but bad news.”

And she had a jealous man,

Said she wanted rid of him,

She lay by my side,

An’ he was the hard-workin’ kind,

Nothin’ but her on his mind,

She was his prize,

‘Cause she was the smiling girl,

Said, “What do you want from me girl,

C E

Blood on my hands?”

Am C G

And oh boy, you were warned this would happen!

Am C G

And oh lord, you’d have known this was comin,

Yeah, he came out lookin’ for her,

He found us both together,

E Am

Beware the wrath of the jealous man,

If he could not be with her,

Then she could be with no other,

E Am

And so it is and will always be.

Am C E Am

OUTRO (instrumental): ( ) Repeat and end on
