[A] [B] [A] On the night I [D] arrived, my daddy said six [A] alive's the meanest one that we've had [E] yet.
[A] She's gone [D] ten weeks [E] on gin, I was [A] nobody's teacher's pet.
I grew up rough and [D] mean in my early [A] teens, and I didn't want to [E] go to school.
[A] I called no man's [D] son, word was a dirty [E] word, and making skit was [A] breaking the rules.
Now when you see me [D] coming, get [A] away, the ones that [E] didn't in around me.

Now when I reach twenty [D]-one, I know the time will [A] come.
I had that old rambling [E] itch, [A] breaking little girls' [D] hearts, I'd throw the world [E] apart.
