[Verse 1]
             F
I was happy, oh so happy
C                  G7
Down in Mississipi way
C            F
I was livin' with my pappy
C       G           C
Fifteen years ago today

[Verse 2]
                 F
When I left him, in the gloamin'
C                    G7
I recall I heard him say
C                F
You'll be sorry, that you roamin'
C       G           C
Fifteen years ago today

[Verse 3]
                 F
I met a slicker, from the city
C                    G7
And he led my life astray
C                 F
How he fooled me, was a pity
C       G           C
Fifteen years ago today

[Verse 4]
                 F
He said I could; make a fortune
C                    G7
If I did as he would say
C             F/C
But we ended, up in prison
C       G           C
Fifteen years ago today

[Verse 5]
                F
Now I'm sittin' by my own son
C                    G7
For my errors I must pay
C         F
I recall; I wasn't lonesome
C       G           C
Fifteen years ago today
