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.
