He drank whiskey for his liver,

He loved women for his ego

He died a rounder at twenty one

He never worked down at the saw mill

He couldn't stand that bright sunshine

It was a thousand in his time

It was a night when the blues had hit him,

You'll never live past twenty one

To an old man at the bar

He said oh Daddy I love you,

I just don't like where you are

Tell Mama to turn my light on,
G D
And turn down my feather bed.

I'll be twenty one tomorrow

But tomorrow, he was dead.

And twenty one roses red,

This is the story of a rounder

Who at twenty one he was dead
