Am C
Pull back the curtain
Am
Let me see the sun
C
It's been like a long rainy day
Am C Am
I slave and I try but you grumble and you cry
C Am
And we can't live together this a-way, lawd lawd
C Am
And we can't live together this a-way
C
I set you in the shade
Am
Give you ever' dime I made
C
What can a poor boy do?
Am C Am
Yes I work every day and you throw it all away
C Am
I just can't make a living for you, lawd lawd
C Am
And I can't make a living for you
C Am
I've got no use for the red rocking chair
C
I've got no sugar, baby, now
Am C Am
And since she's been gone (lord) I sing this lonesome song
C Am
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now, lawd lawd
C Am
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now
