Poor Boy

[00:12.81] My mother called me to her bedside
[00:15.86] These words she said to me
[00:19.58] If you don't quit your rambling ways
[00:22.20] They're gonna get you in the penetentiary
[00:25.58] Gonna get you in the penetentiary poor boy

[00:38.52] So I sat myself down in a gambling game
[00:41.58] But I could not play my hand
[00:44.90] Just thinking about that woman I love
[00:47.96] Run away with another man

[00:57.26] Just thinking about that woman I love
[01:00.69] Run away with another man
[01:04.63] The cards came around the table lord
[01:06.92] And I had such a worried mind
[01:10.23] My stack of gold dollars I wasted away
[01:13.58] And I lost about ninety-nine

[01:22.93] My stack of gold dollars I wasted away
