Bbo Bbo [Verse 1] Eo E7 By and by A Co I’m breathing a lover’s sigh. Bm7 Bbo Well I’m sitting on my watch So I can be on time I’m singing love’s praises With sugar-coated rhyme. [Verse 2] Eo E7 By and by A Co On you I’m casting my eye. I’m paintin’ the town Swingin’ my partner around Bm7 Bbo Well I know who I can depend on I know who to trust I’m watchin’ the roads I’m studying the dust I’m paintin’ the town Making my last go round. [Chorus] Well I’m scuffling and I’m shuffling And I’m walking on briars I’m not even acquainted with my own desires [Verse 3] I’m roamin’ slow I’m doing all I know. I’m telling myself I’ve found true happiness That I’ve still got a dream that hasn’t been repossessed. I’m roamin’ slow Going where the wild roses grow. [Chorus] Well the future for me Is already a thing of the past You were my first love And you will be my last. Papa gone mad [Verse 4] Mama she’s feeling sad. Well I’m gonna baptize you in fire So you can sin no more I’m gonna establish my rule Through civil war Gonn’ make you see Just how loyal and true a man can be!
