Lay, la dy, lay,
lay a cross my (Bm)big brass bed.
Lay, la dy, lay,
lay a cross my (Bm)big brass bed.
What ev er col ors you have
in your mind,
I’ll show them to (F#m)you
and you’ll see them shine.
Lay, lad y, lay,
lay a cross my (Bm)big brass bed.
Stay, la dy, stay,
stay with your man a while.
Un til the break of day,
let me see you (Bm)make him smile.
His clothes are dirt y but his
hands are clean,
and you’re the best thing that he’s
ev er seen.
Stay, la dy, stay,
stay with your man a while.
Why wait an y long er for the (E)world (F#m)to be (A)gin,
you can have your cake and eat (Bm)it, too.
Why wait an y long er for the (E)one (F#m)you (A)love,
when he’s stand ing
in front of (Bm)you.
Lay, la dy, lay,
lay a cross my (Bm)big brass bed.
Stay, la dy, stay,
stay while the night is still a head.
I long to see you in the (A)morn ing light,
I long to reach for you
in the night.
Stay, la dy, (C#m)stay,
stay while the night is still a head.
