I often think off the live I live
|
And it's a wonder that I ain't dead
|
Drinking and gambling
|
And staying out all night
|
Livin' in a fool's paradise
|
|
My mother told me, my father told me too
|
Someday my child, fate will catch up with you
|
Drinking and gambling
|
And staying out all night
|
Livin' in a fool's paradise
|
|
I though I had learned my lesson
|
Like all fools I have met
|
But there are things I've learned in this world
|
I'll remember to my dyin' day
|
|
My father told me, my mother said it right
|
Said my child, you are ruining your life
|
Drinking and gambling
|
And staying out all night
|
Livin' in a fool's paradise
|
|
Well I though I had learned my lesson
|
Like all fools I have met
|
But there are things I've learned in this world
|
I'll remember to my dyin' day
|
|
My father told me, my mother said it right
|
Said my child, you are ruining your life
|
Drinking and gambling
|
And staying out all night
|
Livin' in a fool's paradise
|
Livin' in a fool's paradise
