Jimmie Rodgers - Years Ago lyrics

I was happy, oh so happy Down in Mississipi way I was livin' with my papy Fifteen years ago today When I left him in the gloamin' I recall I heard him say You'll be sorry that you roamin' Fifteen years ago today I met a slicker from the city And he leaved my life astray How he fooled me was a pity Fifteen years ago today He said I could make a fortune If I did as he would say But we ended up in prison Fifteen years ago today Now I'm sittin' by my own son For my errors I must pay I recall I wasn't lonesome Fifteen years a go today
