Well,
my mama used to tell me
when I was just a kid
Be careful about the girl, son,
and never blow your lid
But I've done it, I've done it,
I've done it
Yes, I've done it, I've done it,
I've done it
And if I had my way about it,
I'd do it over again
Well, my baby went and left me
for another man
I told her when she left me
I wouldn't take her back again
But I've done it, I've done it,
I've done it, yes
I've done it, I've done it, I've done it
And if I had my way about it,
I'd do it all over again
Well, I said I'd never let
gamblin' bring me misery
I said that horses and women
would never get the best of me
But they've done it, they've done it,
they've done it
Yes, they've done it,
they've done it, they've done it
And if I had my way about it,
they'd do it all over again
This story has no morals,
this story has no end
Once you taste the fruit of joy,
you've got to do it again
And I've done it, I've done it,
I've done it
Yes, I've done it, I've done it,
I've done it
And if I had my way about it,
I'd do it all over again you
