[Verse 1]

C
Come and gather around me good people

G7 C
My life I must reveal

C
Well tomorrow might have been different

G7 C
And I know how my darling ought to feel

[Verse 2]

C
When I had plenty of money

G7 C
my friends were all standing round

C
but when my pocket book was empty

G7 C
not a friend on earth could be found

[Verse 3]

C
Well that last time I saw my little woman

G7 C
She had a wine glass in her hand

C
She was drinking down her troubles

G7 C
With a low down sorry man

[Verse 4]

C
My Daddy taught me a plenty

G7 C
My Momma she taught me more

C
If I didn't quit my rowdy ways

G7 C
I'd have trouble knocking at my door

[Verse 5]

C
I wrote my Momma a letter

G7 C
I told her I was in jail

C
She wrote me back in a hurry

G7 C
Saying honey I'm gonna come and throw your bail

[Verse 6]

C
I'm a laying around in this old jail house

G7 C
Forty dollars will pay my fine

C
Corn whiskey done and got my body

G7 C
Pretty women are troubling my mind
