Chords

[Verse 1]
 C                    G
Late last night when Wil-lie came home

   D                         G
I heard him rap-ping on the door

 C                               G
Slip-ping and Sli-ding with his new shoes on

  D                       G
Wil-lie don't you rap no more
[Chorus]
C         G
oh me, oh my

 D                     G
What's gonna become of me

 C             G
Way downtown, fooling around

 D                      G
Mama, don't you cry for me
[Verse 2]
 C               G
One old shirt is all I've got

       D                G
And a dollar is all I crave

 C                       G
Brought nothing with me into this world

 D                         G
Gonna take nothing to my grave
[Chorus]
C         G
oh me, oh my

 D                     G
What's gonna become of me

 C             G
Way downtown, fooling around

 D                      G
Mama, don't you cry for me
[Verse 3]
 C                  G
Wish I was down in Old Baltimore

  D                  G
Sitting in an easy chair

 C                 G
One arm around my old guitar

 D                       G
And the other around my dear
[Chorus]
C         G
oh me, oh my

 D                     G
What's gonna become of me

 C             G
Way downtown, fooling around

 D                      G
Mama, don't you cry for me
[Verse 4]
 C             G
Wish I had a needle and thread

D                   G
As fine as I could sew

 C                        G
Sew all the good looking girls to my back

 D                    G
And down the road I'd go
[Chorus]
C         G
oh me, oh my

 D                     G
What's gonna become of me

 C             G
Way downtown, fooling around

 D                      G
Mama, don't you cry for me
