he was sittin’ in the lounge of the empire hotel
he was drinkin’ for diversion, he was thinkin’ for himself
a little money ridin’ on the maple leafs
along comes this lady in sleeves
she says
F let me sit down, you know, C drinkin’ alone’s a shame,
it’s a shame, it’s a cryin’ shame
G F C look at those jokers glued to that damn hockey game F hey, honey, you got lots of cash,
bring us ‘round a bottle and we’ll have some laughs
Bb G C gin’s what i’m drinkin’; i was raised on robbery
she says,
F C i’m a pretty good cook, sittin’ on my groceries G F C come up to my kitchen, i’ll show you my best recipes F i try and i try, but i can’t save a cent
i’m up after midnight cookin’ tryin’ to make my rent
Bb G C i’m rough but I’m pleasin’; i was raised on robbery
G-F-C-G-C
F we had a little money once, C they were pushin’ through a four lane highway G government gave us three thousand dollars, F C you shoulda seen it fly away F first he bought a fifty-seven Biscayne, he put it in the ditch
he drunk up all the rest, that son of a bitch
Bb G C his blood’s bad whiskey; i was raised on robbery F you know you ain’t bad lookin’, C i like the way you hold your drinks G come home with me honey, F C i ain’t askin’ for no full-length mink F hey, where you goin’?
don’t go yet, your glass ain’t empty and we just met
Bb you’re mean when you’re loaded; G C i was raised on robbery
G-F-C-G
