Sometimes I don't know - The reason why
So I guess I keep a-gamblin' lots of booze
And lots of ramblin') - …
(Well, it's easier just a-waitin' around) - To die
(Well, one time, friends, I had a ma [Riff]
I even had a pa - …
He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried - …
She told him to take care of me
She headed down to Tennessee) (…) [Riff]
