Been having a ball since I was a boy in Beaumont.

Met a girl out in eastern Okla-homa. 
    E           E7            A 
Her daddy was a Tulsa million-aire.

With miles and miles of oil wells, he'd leave her.

Well all a man could want was waiting there.

But one  night while she lay sleeping, I slipped away.
