1) let me sit down, you know, drinkin’ alone it's a a shame, it’s a shame, it’s a cryin’ shame
2) i’m a pretty good cook, sittin’ on my groceries
3) we had a little money once, they were pushin’ through a four lane highway
4) you know you ain’t bad lookin’, i like the way you hold your drinks

G_______________F_________________C
1) look at those jokers glued to that damn hockey game
2) come up to my kitchen, i’ll show you my best recipes
3) government gave us three thousand dollars,you shoulda seen it fly away
4) come home with me honey, i ain’t askin’ for no full-length mink

F_________________________________Bb____________G______C
hey, honey, you got lots of cash, bring us ‘round a bottle and we’ll have some laughs
gin’s what i’m drinkin’ i was raised on robbery
i try and i try, but i can’t save a cent i’m up after midnight cookin’ tryin’ to make my rent
i’m rough but I’m pleasin’; i was raised on robbery

first he bought a fifty-seven Biscayne, he put it in the ditch he drunk up all the rest, that son of a bitch
his blood’s bad whiskey; i was raised on robbery
hey, where you goin’? don’t go yet, your glass ain’t empty and we just met
you’re mean when you’re loaded i was raised on robbery
