Am        C       D    F     
My mother was a tailor              
Am       C         E          
Sewed my new blue jeans         
Am         C       D      F     
My father was a gambling men      
Am      E     Am     
Down in new Orleans   

Am C D F Am E Am E        

Am            C        D       F        
Now the only things a gambler needs     
Am             C     E         
Is a suitcase and a trunk      
Am            C     D        F     
And the only time he is satisfied     
Am            E      Am    
Is when he is all drunk
