[Verse]
C F C
I'm a stone's throw from the mill, and I'm a good walk to the river
F C Am (walk up) C
When my working day is over, we'll go swim our cares away
C F C
Put your toes down in the water, and smile across your face
F C Am (walk up) C
And tell me that you love me, lovely Lady May
[Chorus]
Am (walk up) C F C
Now I ain't the sharpest chisel that your hands have ever held
F C Am (walk up) C
But darlin' I could love you well, till the roll is called on high
Am (walk up) C F C
Ive seen my share of trouble, and I've held my weight in shame
F C Am (walk up) C
But I am baptized in your name, lovely Lady May
[Riff]

[Verse]
C F C
Lord the wind can leave you shiverin' as it waltzes over the leaves
F C Am (walk up) C
It's been rushing through my timber till your love brought on the spring
C F C
Now the mountains all are blushin, and they don't know what to say
F C Am (walk up) C
Except a good long line of praises for my lovely Lady May
[Chorus]
Am7 (walk up) C F C
Now I ain't the toughest hickory that your axe has ever fell
F C Am (walk up) C
But I'm a hickory just as well, I'm a hickory all the same
Am (walk up) C F C
I came crashing through the forrest as you cut my roots away
F C Am (walk up) C
And I fell a good long ways, for my lovely Lady May
