My mother was a tailor.

She sewed my new blue jeans.

Now, the only thing a gambler needs
     Am       C     E     E
Is a suitcase and a trunk
        Am   C         D          F
and the only time that he's satisfied
   Am        E    Am
Is when he's on a drunk

Not to do what I have done.
Am         C        D          F
Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the house of the risin' sun.
