Well I went to see the gypsy, to have my fortune read. 
          A                       D7 
She said man, your baby's gonna leave you. 
     E                            A 
Her bags are packed up under the bed. I cried.

I said if you leave me baby, girl if you put me down. 
      A                   D7               E                   A 
I'm going to the nearest river child, and jump overboard and drown. 

Don't leave me. 

 A                                  D                  A

I said if you stay baby, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna work two jobs, seven days a week, 
     E                      A 
and bring my money home to you, well I said. 

 A                                  D                  A
