Verse 1
CI'm a stone's throw from the mill
F CAnd I'm a good walk to the river
F CWhen my workin' day is over
Am G/B CWe'll go swim our cares away
CPut your toes down in the water
F CAnd a smile across your face
F CAnd tell me that you love me
Am G/B CLovely Lady May
Chorus
Am G/B CNow I ain't the sharpest chisel
F CThat your hands have ever held
F CBut darlin' I could love you well
Am G/B C'Til the roll is called on high
Am G/B CI've seen my share of trouble
F CAnd I've held my weight in shame
F CBut I'm baptized in your name
Am G/B CLovely Lady May
Verse 2
CLord, the wind can leave you shiverin'
F CAs it waltzes o'er the leaves
F CIt's been rushin' through my timber
Am G/B C'Til your love brought on the spring
CNow the mountains all are blushin'
F CAnd they don't know what to say
F C'Cept a good long line of praises
Am G/B CFor my lovely Lady May
Chorus
Am G/B CNow I ain't the toughest hickory
F CThat your ax has ever felled
F CBut I'm a hickory just as well
Am G/B CI'm a hickory all the same
Am G/B CI came crashin' through the forest
F CAs you cut my roots away
F CAnd I fell a good long ways
Am G/B CFor my lovely Lady May
