   I often think off -- the life I live

               F7                 Bb7
   And it's a wonder that I ain't dead

C7              B7
   Drinking and gambling

E7                      Am7
   And staying out all night

D7              G7         C    G7
   Living in a fool's paradise

   My mother told me -- my father told me too

   "Someday my child --- fate will catch up to you

   I though I had learned my lesson

        A7
   Like all fools I have met

        D7
   But there are things I've learned in this world

   I'll remember to my dying day

   I'll remember to my dying day
