Verse 1
morning about half past four
My gal was standing in the bedroom door
I didn't know hardly what to say or do
F
C
She had a pocket knife and a pistol too
I just walked the floor and smoked my pipe
I said, I can't go to bed,
G
C
F
C
the sign ain't right
I tried to be a man and hold my own
F
C
Girl, when you was sick, I stayed at home
I washed your feet every day in a week
I wanted you to sleep on
F
C
clean white sheets
You were sick as any woman
I've ever seen
You was having trouble in
F
C
all your dreams
One night you had some hard nightmares
I washed your face and I
F
C
combed your hair
You were so sick, I didn't know what to do
F
So I called the doctor and
Gm
C
the undertaker too
The doctor came, but he didn't stay
He looked in your face and
F
C
he walked away
The undertaker came a little late that night
He said, stick tight,
G
Gm
F
C
the sign ain't right
Through all life's rain
F
C
and life's storm and hail,
I stayed by your bedside
and didn't fail.
Walked through all life's slippery streets,
my feet got wet with life's
F
C
snow and sleet.
Most times alone was just me and you
F
C
My head got wet with flies, midnight dew
I stayed by your bedside
and smoked my pipe
F
C
I can't go to bed, the sign ain't right
I love that gal because she
was so kind to me
Long time ago the gal paid my fine
F
C
I was so glad when the gal got well
A loving kind that she
could hear me tell
F
C
She'd pull off my clothes
and she'd wash my feet
F
C
Put me in the bed and hold my head
Gm
C
Leave me in the bathroom
and wash my face
And make me coffee just to
F
C
soothe my taste
One night she said,
you've been out doing something against my will
F
You've been drinking that
Gm
C
moonshine from the still
Now I've made you tight
and it's late at night
Please go to bed,
F
C
the sign ain't right
Your breath is just smelling like a whiskey still
If the cops don't get you,
Gm
F
C
but I'll come back soon
Some jitterbug made me dust my room
F
C
I looked on the pillar and got my gun
G
Gm
I went back out, I had a little fun
C
It wasn't a big gun, it was just the right
G
And on the hound was a colt,
I made one shot, it was late that night
G
C
F
C
One jillbug said the sign ain't right
That four -five hit him,
he's spinning round and round
He tried to stand up,
F
C
but he had to go down
Oh yes, I saw him when he dropped
I was lookin' in his face
G
Gm
when he blowed his top
G
C
I'm goin' on home and smoke my pipe
I can't go to bed, the sign ain't right
F
C
When they had my trial,
I knowed where I was found
G
C
I saw the clay off the coat
when he throwed it down
I've been there once, and I've done ten
F
C
I believe I've got to go back again
I told Lucille if I have to go
F
C
I'd do just like I've done before
F
C
C
C
I'll walk the floor and smoke my pipe
G
I can't go to bed, the sign ain't right you
