        C                        G/b       F/a   
Well, I wandered alone through a desert of stone
      C            G11    C
And I dreamt of my future wife 
   C                          F          C    
My sword's in my hand and I'm next in command
                                F/a  
In this version of death called life           *)
/b C                    F              C
My plate and my cup are right straight up 
                                 F/a
I took a rose from the hand of a child 
/b     C                   G/b   F/a
When I kiss your lips, the honey drips 

E When I send for my baby, man, and she don’t come A7 E Send for my baby, man, and she don’t come B7 A7 E All the doctors in Hot Springs sure ain’t gonna help her none

E                     A               E
  Well I got troubles, troubles on my mind
          A                                    E
Yes, when I got those troubles, troubles on my mind
                B7                 A                    E
Well, I'm gonna forget my troubles, leave my troubles behind,
  B7
behind

         E               A
I'm gonna swing it up
E                A
 Swing down,
E
 Grab my baby, and wind, wind, wind,
      A                                         E
well, swing your troubles, swing your troubles away

Intro:

G           D7                        G
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother,
               D                Em
she's sleeping here right by my side.
           C                   Am
And in her right hand a silver dagger
              Em      G       D
she says that I can't be your bride.

All men are false, says my mother,
they'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
The very next evening they'll court another,
leave you alone to pine and sigh.

My daddy is - a handsome devil,
he's got a chain, five miles long.
And on every link a heart does dangle

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a gypsy queen,

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle in your boots and shoes,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, you got nothing to lose,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, like a swarm of bees,
Wiggle on your hands and knees.

It's unbelievable, it's strange but true,

It's inconceivable it could happen to you.

You go north and you go south

Just like bait in the fish's mouth.
                                                     B
Ya must be livin' in the shadow of some kind of evil star.
         Em
It's unbelievable it would get this far.

It's undeniable what they'd have you to think,
It's indescribable it can drive you to drink.
They said it was the land of milk and honey,
now they say it's the land of money.
Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.

One time in London I'd gone out for a walk,
Past a place called Hyde park where people talk
'Bout all kinds of different gods, they have their point of view
To anyone passing by, that's who they're talking to.

There was someone on a platform talking to the folks
About the T.V. god and all the pain that it invokes.
"It's too bright a light", he said, "For anybody's eyes,
If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."

I moved in closer, got up on my toes,
Two men in front of me were coming to blows
The man was saying something 'bout children when they're young
