Lyrics

Once I had a fortune, I kept it in my trunk
I lost it all in a gambling game one night when I got drunk

Fortune I had it, Fortune I lost it.
Fortune I lost it one night when I got drunk.

Once I had a fortune, but now I lost it all
Drinking and a-shooting and a-gambling at the ball

I wish I had an old bay horse with corn to feed him on
And a pretty little wife around the farm to feed him when I’m gone

I wouldn’t marry me a thin gal, I tell you boys it’s true
When you pull the plug in the bathtub I’m afraid she might go through
And I wouldn’t marry me a rich gal, and I’ll tell you the reason why
She’ll never lift a finger and I’m afraid she’ll never die
