Wep bep bep bep bep bep ba-doo a-bau a-bau bau bau

Bap ba-ew ba deh deh deh daw de dah deh deh da-ew ah dau dau dau

1. Well here I sit high, gettin' ideas

2. Just sittin' 'round drinkin' with the rest of the guys

3. They say roses are red and violets are purple

Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this

Six rounds bought, and I bought five

Sugar's sweet and so's maple surple

Out all night and runnin' wild

I've Spent the groceries and half the rent

I'm the seventh out of seven sons

Woman sittin' home with a month old child

I lack fourteen dollars having twenty-seven cents

My pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun

CHORUS:

Dang me, dang me, they oughta take a rope and hang me

High from the highest tree! Woman would you weep for me?

Wep bep bep bep bep bep ba-doo a-bau a-bau bau bau

One more time, Wep bep bep bep bep bep ba-doo a-bau a-bau bau bau

AFTER THIRD CHORUS, ADD:

Bap ba-ew ba deh deh deh daw de dah deh deh da-ew ah dau dau dau

Deh, da-deh deh dilly aw bae bae bae
