Em [tab] B Who taught me those things Em A young man should know Em Down, down on my knees B I’d beg and I’d plead Em To learn a little bit more

Em I had me a boy B who buttoned me down Em Drew me a line Em He, he washed me as clean B As a sinner could be Em Showed me the light A Em Oh that boy, he taught me to pray A B But for all of his spit-shinin’ ways
Lord, he could,

She could,
