    As young love for you, she told me that you was too young,
                G7                    C                   G        D7       G
    I wish, the Lord, that I'd never seen your face, I'm sorry you all was born.

    Sometimes I lives in the country, sometimes I lives in town,

    Stop rambling and stop gambling, quit staying out late at night
