[Verse 2]
C
Well fifteen bucks for the preacher man
F
And a dollar for the paper
C Am
Dear little mother-in-law moved in
F G7 C
Lawd, she was a caper
C
I fiddled a tune for her one day
F
And she called me joker
C Am
Then that old sow got mad at me
F G7 C
And hit me with a poker
[Chorus]
C
Give me back my fifteen cents
G7 C
Give me back my money
C Am
Give me back my fifteen cents
F G7 C
And i'll go back to mammy
