Years Ago

I was happy, oh so happy
Down in mississipi way
I was livin' with my papy
Fifteen years ago today
When i left him in the gloamin'
I recall i heard him say
You'll be sorry that you roamin'
Fifteen years ago today
I met a slicker from the city
And he leaved my life astray
How he fooled me was a pity
Fifteen years ago today
He said i could make a fortune
If i did as he would say
But we ended up in prison
Fifteen years ago today
Now i'm sittin' by my own son
For my errors i must pay
I recall i wasn't lonesome
Fifteen years a go today
