Verse 1:
      A    A7   C#7 D7 
Then I went down by  that freight depot 
         A                E7           A 
And that freight train he come rollin' by 
           E                             A 
Lord and I sure ain't got no lovin' baby now

And I sure ain't got no lovin' baby now 

Verse 2:
       A    A7     C#7  D7 
Then I went off in that far distant land 
         A                 E7           A 
I wasn't there long before I got a telegram (What did it say?) 
           E                         A 
Sayin' now man won't you please come home

Now man won't you please come home 

 
Verse 3:
       A         A7   C#7  D7 
Then I went back home,   I looked on the bed 
        A                E7        A 
And that best old friend I had was dead 
            E                        A 
Lord, and I ain't got no lovin' baby now

And I ain't got no lovin' baby now

         A    A7    C#7 D7 
And I'm sorry, sorry,    sorry to my heart 
        A         E7                  A 
But that best old friend someday must part 
       E                        A 
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now 
      E                        A 
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now. (Play it for me now)

     A           A7    C#7   D7 
Now as sure as the birds range in the sky above 
        A                      E7                     A 
Life ain't worth livin' if you ain't with the one you love 
           E                        A

Lord I ain't got no lover now 

Verse 6:
       A                 A7      C#7 D7 
If I'd knowed you didn't love me and didn't want me too 
           A        E7       A 
I would've take morphine and died 
       E                        A 
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now 
      E                        A  E7 A 
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now
