[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D]
[A][G][D]
Once [G]I was standing

[Verse 1]
down on [D]a land
Once I was [G]standing down
on the landing
When the big old log pulled off and [D]blew
Oh, it just hurt me to [Am]my soul
[G]I knew I wouldn't see
the little girl no [D]more
I'm gonna write my, my, my,
and tell her the shape that I'm in
Love, I got [G]to write my, my, my,
and tell her the shape that I'm [D]in
I've [A]been late this morning,
[G]I don[D]'t wan[G]na be late no more[D]
Lord, I'll be standin' down on the corner,
on the corner of Beard and Brains
I'll be stand[G]in' down on the corner,
on the corner of Hip and [D]Main
Lord, with my [Am]high business hangin',
[A][G]
shakin' hands with another [D]man
I'll be standin' down on the landin'
When the big old log pull off and blow
I'll [G]be standin' down on the landin'
When the big old log pull off and [D]blow
Oh, it'll [A]hurt me to [Am]my soul
[G]I'll never see the little girl no more
[D]Oh, oh, hey.
Ah, [G]yeah.
Go ahead, [D]get it. [A]What?[G][D]
It's a crying shame for
my mama to be so mean
I wonder why, Lord,
it's a [G]crying shame for my
mother to be so mean, [D]yeah
She said, I told [A]you about
that no -good woman
[G]Oh, you wouldn't lift your word,
I'd [D]say I said
[G]I'm comin' [D]home in the morn[G]ing, mama
[D]And her cryin' won't make me stay
[G]I'm comin' home in the morning
And cryin' won't make me [D]stay
Lord, I done cried [A]so much
this [G]morning[D][G]
[D]I'll be standing on the landing
When the big [G]boat pulls off and [D]blows
I'll [G]be standing on the landing
When the big boat pulls off [D]and blows
Don't let her leave you, [G]man.[D]
Oh, don't hurt [A]me, my soul.
[G]I'll never see this little girl no [D]more.
Turn the boat around.
I'm gonna leave, yeah.
Oh, Lord, I've been hurtin' long.
I'm gonna [G]leave.
Oh, Lord, I've been hurtin' [D]too long.
I've been [A]hurtin' once, baby,
and I [G]won't be hurtin' no [D]more
[G]I've been hurtin' [A]once, baby, and I won't,
[G]I won't be hurtin' no m[D]ore
I've been hurtin' once, baby,
and I [G]won't be hurtin' no [D]more[D]
I've been hurt once, baby,
and I won't be hurt no more
