[Verse]
CI'm so tired of moaning, trying to groan away my blues
FI'm so tired of moaning, trying to groan away my blues
GI keep weeping and crying every time I think of you
CI would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun
FI would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun
GThan to think of some other man holding you in his arms
CMy heart gets so heavy, Lord, I shakes down in my bones
FMy heart gets so heavy, Lord, I shakes down in my bones
GI can't hurt a murderer, oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan

[Verse]

I'm so tired of moaning, trying to groan away my blues

I keep weeping and crying every time I think of you

Than to think of some other man holding you in his arms

My heart gets so heavy, Lord, I shakes down in my bones

I can't hurt a murderer, oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan
