[Verse 1]
       A    A7   C#7 D7
Then I went down by  that freight depot
         A                E7           A
And that freight train he come rollin' by
           E                             A
Lord and I sure ain't got no lovin' baby now
      E                             A
And I sure ain't got no lovin' baby now

[Verse 2]
       A    A7     C#7  D7
Then I went off in that far distant land
         A                 E7           A
I wasn't there long before I got a telegram (What did it say?)
           E                         A
Sayin' now man won't you please come home
    E                         A
Now man won't you please come home

[Verse 3]
       A         A7   C#7  D7
Then I went back home,   I looked on the bed
        A                E7        A
And that best old friend I had was dead
            E                        A
Lord, and I ain't got no lovin' baby now
      E                        A
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now

[Verse 4]
          A    A7    C#7 D7
And I'm sorry, sorry,    sorry to my heart
        A         E7                  A
But that best old friend someday must part
       E                        A
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now
      E                        A
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now. (Play it for me now)

[Verse 5]
       A           A7    C#7   D7
Now as sure as the birds range in the sky above
        A                      E7                     A
Life ain't worth livin' if you ain't with the one you love
           E                        A
Lord and I ain't got no lovin' baby now
       E                  A
Lord I ain't got no lover now

[Verse 6]
       A                 A7      C#7 D7
If I'd knowed you didn't love me and didn't want me too
           A        E7       A
I would've take morphine and died
       E                        A
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now
      E                        A  E7 A
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now
