Oldtime Stringband

If I had minded Momma, I wouldn't be here today,
But I was young and foolish and easily led astray.

  Chorus:
I won't get drunk no more, I won't get drunk no more,
Turn my head from the barroom, I won't get drunk no more.

Once I had a fortune, all locked up in my trunk,
Lost it all a'gamblin' one night when I was drunk.

  Chorus:

Once I had a banjo, it's strings were made of twine,
The only song that it would play was Trouble On My Mind.

  Chorus:

Goodbye to your old corn whiskey, goodbye to your brandy, too,
You caused me to loose my true love and I've got no use for you.

  Chorus:

Yonder rides my true love, with a feller by her side,
Fare the well, my true love, I'm free and the world is wide.

  Chorus: (twice and out)
