Lyrics

I've lived in the North, lived in the South I lived in the city and I traveled in and out I make good money, but it didn't last long My only troubles were wine, women and song I've got 'em, I've had 'em Lordy, lordy, lordy, I've got 'em now Now I had a brother, done the very same thing He worked all the winter, got paid in the spring When papa asked him where his money had gone All he could say was wine, women and song He's got 'em, he's had 'em Lordy, lordy, lordy, he's got 'em now Now there was a city slicker come to our town He had liquor and he passed it around When I looked, my money was gone All I can say is wine, women and song I've got 'em, I've had 'em Lordy, lordy, lordy, I've got 'em now Now, I went slumming just to have some fun I met a little girl, and she called me hun' She took my money, now she is gone She left me singing wine, women and song I've got 'em, I've had 'em Lordy, lordy, lordy, I've got 'em now Now listen young fellow, won't you heed my song? Keep your money in your pocket, and you can't go wrong Don't go slumming 'cause it won't take long If you go mixing the wine, women and song You'll get 'em, you've got 'em Lordy, lordy, lordy, you've got 'em now Now, old Al Dexter did the very same thing He worked all the winter, got paid in the spring And when his papa ask him where his money had gone All he could say was wine, women and song He's got 'em, he's had 'em Lordy, lordy, lordy, you can have 'em now
