Cat. #1476 (MFH #286) - As sung by Bill Ping, Santa Rosa, California on September 20, 1972
VERSE 1
My Father advised me
When I were quite young
To leave off night walkin'
Bad company to shun
VERSE 2
Sir Son, you're too young
To be led astray
Those words I'll remember
Till I'm cold in th grave
VERSE 3
Card playin' an' gamblin'
Could be your downfall
And women, God bless them
Are the cause of it all
VERSE 4
So, heed now my warnin'
Or you'll rule th day
Those wrods I'll rember
Till I'm cold in th clay
