Well I'm work shy.     I'm wild-eyed  -  so shut that door when the baby cries.
            D                 G/D  D
And keep me well fed, give me warm bread. 
D                        /F#  /A  A          A             D/A-A
Lay my body on a feather bed  and spoil me - Angeline.

Get to work when the whistle screams - Angeline.


      A        D/A  A        D/A  A
Maybe someday,      some way  -  somewhere in the future there's more pay.

Give me more cash.   Bring me sour mash.
                              /F#  /A   A        A         D/A-A
Peel me a grape and fetch my stash and bite me - Angeline.

Let me use you like a sex machine - Angeline.



CHORUS:       A    
You've got to swing that hammer, punch that card.
D
Angeline I love you when you work so hard.
A
Swing that hammer and sew my jeans.
E                             D         A-A-G/A-Em/A  A-A-G/A-Em/A {twice}
Angeline just loves it when I treat her mean.

     Angeline.



       A           D/A   A          D/A  A
Well I talk tough.     I act rough.      Lay still honey I can't get enough.
          D             G/D    D
Keep your nose clean.   Let me be.   
                                /F#  /A   A          A         D/A-A
On your knees when you speak to me   and  trust me - Angeline.
                         D                 A
Talk real dirty and I'll make you scream - Angeline.
