G G C C
left my home in Tennessee,
D D G
Thought I'd learn to travel,
G G C C
But then I met a pretty little girl

And soon we played the devil
G G C C
I loved that gal and she loved me
D D D G
And I thought we'd live together
G G C C
But then we tied that fatal knot
D D G
And now I'm gone forever
[Chorus]

Gimme back my fifteen cents,

Gimme back my money;

Gimme back my fifteen cents

And I'll go home to Mammy
