He was ^Aborn on the twelfth of March and the winds did ^Gblow.^E Since ^Athen ill winds still follow me ^Beverywhere I ^Ego. ^DHe's been broke in every state and ^Aevery major

^AHe sized up a little bank in Logan's ^GBay.^E Then I ^Agot to thinkin' and I lost my nerve and ^Bthrew my gun ^Eaway. They ^Dcaught him down by the railroad track and ^Arun him out of town. ^AAnd every time I trust a ^Egal she lets me ^Adown.

down again. #3.

He's ^Agambled away every cent he ever ^Gmade.^E If I ^Afill my inside straight somebody ^Belse is holdin' ^Espades. He's ^Dbeen unfit and unqualified for ^Aevery job

So, he ^Aturns to the open road and shrugs his ^Gmind^E. With an ^Aempty feelin' and a lonely heart with^Bout a single ^Edime. And we ^Dknow that's how it'll always be til they ^Aput

^AYeah, and every time I trust a ^Egal she lets me ^Adown.
