Track 12 of 12 on the album "The Daddy Of 'Em All" (1957) [Intro] E7 A [Verse 1]
        A                              E7
There's no fool like a young fool with wild and careless ways

       E7                      A
Who forgets about tomorrow and lives just for today

   D                          A                F#7
If she could only realize the sorrow that's in store

      E7                                         A
She'd try behaving on for size and honky-tonk no more
[Chorus]
   E7                 A
It breaks my heart to see her drinking there

     E7              A
With tavern lights a-shining in her hair

D                              A           F#7
She won't seem sweet sixteen tomorrow as today

        E7                                             A
There's no fool like a young fool who throws her life away
[Guitar Solo] D A F#7 E7 A [Verse 2]
         A                           E7
Now, the dim lights and the drinking seems like fun I know

    E7                                   A
But she'll find out one morning that you reap just what you sow

    D                           A                  F#7
The sad part is she'll be alone once she starts to fall

        E7                                                A
There's no fool like a young fool who thinks she knows it all
[Chorus]
   E7                 A
It breaks my heart to see her drinking there

     E7              A
With tavern lights a-shining in her hair

     D                              A           F#7
Now, she won't seem sweet sixteen tomorrow as today

        E7                                             A
There's no fool like a young fool who throws her life away
