[Verse]
D G
There's a house on the outside of town
C G
Where the ladies they dress so fine
C G
We stopped there on our way, but I had no means to pay
D G D G
'Cause the ladies are the loving kind
[Verse]
D G
My comrades they all went inside
C G
And the ladies they soon complied
C G
I lay down alone to wait for the dawn
D G D G
The ground it was cold and hard
[Verse]
D G
It was late when she came to me
C G
As I lay there in misery
C G
She took me to her room and she made me feel so warm
D G D G
Lady, you're a sweet memory
[Verse]
D G
'Cause tomorrow I ride to the war
C G
Where many have gone before
C G
My brothers have gone and I must follow on
D G D G
God knows what we're fighting for
[Verse]
D G
Keep the lamp in your window burning bright
C G
And I'll watch it till we ride out of sight
C G
And if I lose the track, when I'm trying to make it back
D G
I'll be guided by your loving light
[Verse]
D G
'Cause who's to say if it's right or if it's wrong
C G
When a lady is the loving kind
C G
It don't matter much to me, what you are or used to be
D G
'Cause lady you lay sweet on my mind
