Judy Mae

Em Em7 (5x) Em As an only child of seventeen Am It hurt when my momma died Em When my daddy got home just a few days later D Well, he broke right down and cried Em But after a year he up and wed Am A girl that was half his age Em Then the family was my daddy D Em And me and Judy Mae Em Well, my daddy did a lot of traveling around Am And before he would say goodbye Em He'd tell me to take care of my new mama D She's the apple of his eye Em And as he kissed his brand new wife goodbye Am I always used to hear him say Em Look after my boy D Em Won't you please, now, Judy Mae Em Judy Mae D A Am Oh, she sure had a way of looking after me Em D Yes, her eyes would sparkle and shine A Am B Every time Papa got ready to leave Em Well, one night while my daddy was gone Am She tiptoed into my room Em She said that she had to talk to me D Cause my dad was gonna be home soon Em She said, you know I get so lonely and cold Am When your daddy is gone for days Em D Em What a boy like you could do to Judy Mae Em Well, I told her that I'd never done this before Am And then she took my hand Em And showed me all of the secret things D That turned a boy into a man Em And as I lay there by her side Am I heard a noise at the window pane Em D I think that's just the wind Em Said Judy Mae Em Judy Mae D A Am Oh, she sure had a way of looking after me Em D Yes, her eyes would sparkle and shine A Am B Every time Papa got ready to leave Em Well, the next day Daddy had an accident Am And two days later, he died Em The sheriff said my Daddy could drive too good to even D Try to take a turn that wide Em But thinking back now I begin to wonder Am To this very day Em If it was him, not the wind D Em That saw me with Judy Mae Em If it was him, not the wind D Em That saw me with Judy Mae
