Fifteen years ago today
I was happy, oh so happy Living down old Mississippi way I was living with my pappy Fifteen years ago today When I left him in the gloaming I recall I heard him say You'll be sorry that you're going Fifteen years ago today I met a slicker from the city And he stole my heart away How he fooled me what a pity Fifteen years ago today And he told me if I'd go with him That a fortune we would me But he left me for another Fifteen years ago today Now I'm sitting by my lonesome For each wrong I now must pay I remember I wasn't lonesome Fifteen years ago today
