1. I asked your mother for you
                           G
   she told me you was too young
                              C         Ami
   I wished to God I'd never seen your face
        D7                 G
   I'm sorry you ever was born.
R:

2. Stop your rambling stop your gambling
   stop staying up late at night
   go home to your wife and family
   there by your fireside right.
R:

3. You caused me to weep you caused me to mourn
   you caused me to leave my home
   but the very last words I heard her say
   was: please sing me one more song.
R:
