Prettiest girl I ever seen
Love so good but act so mean
Lips so wet and eyes so green
Fell on down for the devil's dream
Fell in love, nothing I can do
Love someone, but don't love you
I'd love her again if I had the chance to
Tres grand serpent atour de mon cou
Grand serpent around my neck
Atour de mon cou, losin' my head
Feelin' fine, doin' bad
Best of times, the worst I had

Stayed too late at the bar last night
Drank too much and got into a fight
Honk this tonk until the daylight
Tied one on way too tight
If the rain don't shine and the sky's still blue
Sun don't pour but the bars still do
Having a time, yes I do

Me and my pals at a poker game
Sittin' on top thought I had it made
Went all in when I should have stayed
Had the boat but fo'kind played
Lost my dough, feelin mighty blue
Asked 'em for a loan and what did they do
Gave me all my money but I lost that too

Nothin' to do, nothin' to say
Always been bein' this way
Always bad, always a fool
