Verse:
A augmentedA
False hearts have been my downfall
         D MajorD    A augmentedA
Pretty women have been my craze
             D MajorD
I'm sure my false hearted lover
A augmentedA  E MajorE            A augmentedA
Will drive me to my lonesome grave

They'll bite the hand that feeds them
          D MajorD    A augmentedA
Spend all the money you can save
                  D MajorD   A augmentedA
From your heart strings weave silk garters
E MajorE             A augmentedA
Build a dog house on your grave

Chorus:
A augmentedA
When my earthly stay is over
         D MajorD   A augmentedA
Sink my dead body in the sea
              D MajorD
Just tell my false hearted lover
A augmentedA  E MajorE           A augmentedA
That the whales will watch over me

Ragged clothes dropping from my body
        D MajorD     A augmentedA
The wolf howls around my door
          D MajorD    A augmentedA
The man who won my darling girl
     E MajorE          A augmentedA
Will feel the bite of my forty four

A augmentedA
Corn whiskey has wrecked my body
              D MajorD       A augmentedA
A majorA false hearted lover is a bearing on my mind
              D MajorD
I've roamed the whole world over
A augmentedA    E MajorE         A augmentedA
Pleasure on earth I cannot find

Chorus:
A augmentedA
When my earthly stay is over
         D MajorD   A augmentedA
Sink my dead body in the sea
              D MajorD
Just tell my false hearted lover
A augmentedA  E MajorE           A augmentedA
That the whales will watch over me

A augmentedA
If I meet my darling girl again
         D MajorD    A augmentedA
I'll tell her all about my troubles
               D MajorD    A augmentedA
Give her these false hearted lover's blues
  E MajorE             A augmentedA
And leave her stranded in the shallows

A augmentedA
All men take this timely warning
        D MajorD     A augmentedA
It is both for young and old
          D MajorD    A augmentedA
Don't try to buy a woman's love
     E MajorE          A augmentedA
With the last dollar of your gold

A augmentedA
Take warning you fair young ladies
         D MajorD       A augmentedA
If your love and honor you have sold
             D MajorD  A augmentedA
The men will have no use for you
     E MajorE         A augmentedA
When your dark hair turns to gold

Chorus:
A augmentedA
When my earthly stay is over
         D MajorD   A augmentedA
Sink my dead body in the sea
              D MajorD
Just tell my false hearted lover
A augmentedA  E MajorE           A augmentedA
That the whales will watch over me
