ramblin' jack elliott - fifteen cents lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i left my home in tennessee
thought i’d learn to travel
but then i met a pretty little girl
and soon we played the devil
i loved that gal and she loved me
and i thought we’d live together
but then we tied that fatal knot
and now i’m gone forever

[chorus]
gimme back my fifteen cents
gimme back my money;
gimme back my fifteen cents
and i’ll go home to mammy

[verse 2]
twas fifteen cents for the preacher man
a dollar for the paper
then dear old mother-in-law moved in
and, lordy, what a caper!
i fiddled a tune for her one day
and she called me a joker
then that old sow got mad at me
and hit me with a poker

[chorus]

[verse 3]
i worked in town and i worked on the farm
but there’s no way t’suit’em
they’re both so dad-burn mean to me
somebody ought a shoot them
i’m tired of looking at my mother-in-law
i’d like to see my granny
gonna leave the state of arkansas
and go back home t’mammy!
