E 1. Oh, help me, please doctor, I`m damaged, there`s a pain where there A E D A once was a heart. It`s sleeping, it`s beating, can`t you please tear it out E B E and preserve it right there in that jar. E 2. Oh, help me, please, Mama, I`m sickening, it`s today that`s the day A E D A of the plunge. Oh, the gal, I`m to marry, is a bow-legged sow, E B E I`ve been soaking up drink like a sponge. E 3. "Don`t you worry, "Get dressed!" cried my mother, as she plied me with A E bourbon so sour . "Pull your socks up, put your suit on, D A E B E comb your long hair down, for you will be wed in the hour." 4. = verse 1. 5. = verse 1. in the key of A A 6. I was trembling as I put on my jacket, it had creases as D A G D sharp as a knife. I put the ring in my pocket, but there was a note, A E A and my heart it jumped into my mouth. A 7. It read, "Darling, I`m sorry to hurt you, but I`ve no courage to speak D A G D to your face. But I`m down in Virginia with your cousin Lou, A E A and there`ll be no wedding today." A 8. So help me, please doctor, I`m damaged, you can put back my heart D A G D in its hole. Oh, Mama, I`m crying tears of relief, E A and my pulse is now under control
