Sundy Best 

Mean Old Woman 

Intro: Em 

Just follow this rhythm and you'll be fine. 
If you have listened to the song a few times, you know where to play which chord. 

Em                    G 
Well her eyes were as black 
D              A 
As Pike County coal 
Yeah she was the devil herself 
God almighty knows 
Well she weeped when it rained 
And burned like a train 
Right down the Appalachian coast 
She was fire in the bed 
And her lips were so red 
One kiss'll curl your toes 

And we sang ohh... 
We sang ohh... 

Pulled a knife from a back 
Of a man who was already cold 
And he ain't coming back 
And the blade is hot on my throat 
Before I was delivered 
I fingered that trigger 
And the wine from her body how it flowed 
Then I gathered myself 
With a rage of hell 
Went back to the city made of gold 

And we sang ohh... 
We sang ohh... 

Lord please forgive me 
For all that I know 
Cause I slayed that mean old woman 
Who finally reaped what she sowed 
Well she wanted my blood, and she needed my blood 
And my heart and my body and my soul 
And I wanted her love and I needed her love 
But all that's left, is skin and bones 

And we sing ohh... 
We sing ohh... 
We sing ohh... 
We sing ohh...
