verse
A D Pa drove to town yesterday to pick out a grave A He found the lot where she'd lay A Then he drove to old man Ed Sederdoms's place riff 2 A To find him some peace
He got there round about twelve D And he stayed 'till three A And the sun left him down in the valley D But the moon met him up in the hills by the lake A Reflecting the ghost of ma's face
riff 2 A Suppertime came and went D No one heard from him A Sis' left his food on his plate D At the end of the table right next to ma's place A Where nobody sits
Telephone rang about four D My sis answered it A And I felt the news through the floorboards
Like a long sufferin' moan D Like a wreck on the road A Like a joining of hands
G D A Shala la la G D A Shala la la G D A Shalaaa la la G D A Shala la la G D A Shala la la G D A Shala laaa
riff 3 A So I drove to town yesterday D To pick out his grave A I found the lot where they'd lay D And I drove to old man Ed Sederdoms's place A To find me some peace
