       D#
I'm a stone's throw from the mill
          G#                D#
And I'm a good walk to the river
        G#              D#
When my workin' day is over
          Cm       A#/D    D#
We'll go swim our cares away
         D#
Put your toes down in the water
      G#                D#
And a smile across your face
     G#               D#
And tell me that you love me
Cm     A#/D  D#
Lovely Lady May

Chorus:
       Cm        A#/D      D#
Now I ain't the sharpest chisel
           G#              D#
That your hands have ever held
    Cm              A#/D     D#
But darlin' I could love you well
         G#                D#
'Til the roll is called on high
     Cm       A#/D      D#
I've seen my share of trouble
          G#                D#
And I've held my weight in shame
         G#               D#
But I'm baptized in your name
Cm     A#/D  D#
Lovely Lady May

Lord the wind can leave you shiverin'
As it waltzes o'er the leaves
It's been rushin' through my timber
Til' your love brought on the spring
Now the mountains all are blushin'
And they don't know what to say
'Cept a good long line of praises
For my lovely Lady May

Chorus:
Now I ain't the toughest hickory
That your ax has ever fell
But I'm a hickory just as well
I'm a hickory all the same
I came crashin' through the forest
As you cut my roots away
And I fell a good long ways
For my lovely Lady May
