Intro: 
 
A 
I got this graveyard woman, you know she keeps my kid 
 
But my soulful mama, you know she keeps me hid 
E                                                  A 
She's a junkyard angel and she always gives me bread 
F#                                                                   A 
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed. 
 
A 
Well, when the pipeline gets broken and I'm lost on the river bridge 
 
I'm cracked up on the highway and on the water's edge 
E                                                   A 
She comes down the thruway ready to sew me up with thread 
F#                                                                    A 
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed. 
 
A 
Well, she don't make me nervous, she don't talk too much 
 
She walks like Bo Diddley and she don't need no crutch 
E                                         A 
She keeps this four-ten all loaded with lead 
F#                                                                    A 
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed. 
 
A 
Well, you know I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead 
 
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head 
E                                                   A 
She brings me everything and more, and just like I said 
F#                                                                     A 
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.
