My mother was a tailor

Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
     Am       C     E
Is a suitcase and a trunk
        Am   C    D         F
And the only time he's satisfied
   Am        E      Am   E
Is when he's on a drunk

   Am      C           D        F
Oh fathers,  tell your children
       Am    C      E
Not to do as I have done
Am         C       D            F
Spend your life in sin and misery
