A young man lived in the country style
Shy and innocent face in a smile
A church going fellow lived in the wild
He went to the City once in a while
(―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€°
Up early he was at the crack of dawn
One spirit with animals on the farm
Quiet and humble he did no one harm
An innocent boy he was filled with charm
(―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€°
Until one day his friends on a whim
Took him to the city for a short spin
In a crowed bar they all entered in
And as he enjoyed the music within
(―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€°
He got his first taste of tonic and gin
A bjg game of poker he was eager to win
He settled down with his mind in a spin
A flirty waitress smiled straight at him
(―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€°
His heart jumped right up into his chin
(―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€°
And there he stared into the face of Sin
(―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€°
From that sad day he was not the same
He gambled all day and took life as a game
He even changed his old country name
His dearest old Momma wept in shame
(―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€°
He got lost in the big city style
And soon he owned a new set of wheels
Which he drove round crazy for miles
He gambled 'til dawn and made wild deals
(―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€° (―`._.€°
Poor country boy now knew about lies
As the devil yoked him with city guiles
Gone was the humble boy with big smiles
His hard face showed signs of deep lines
