  THE NIGHT I STOLE OLD SAMMY MORGAN'S GIN

  Words and music by Clarence E. (Hank) Snow

  

  [D] Listen folks and I will [A7] tell a funny [D] story 

  You may think it sad but [D7] I was in my [A7] glory 

  'Twas a [D] cellar I crept [D7] in, cobwebs [G] brushing by my chin 

  On the [D] night I stole old [A7] Sammy Morgan's [D] gin. 

  

  As my hand fell on the jug I had to snicker 

  But when I started for the door I went much quicker 

  For just up above my head someone jumped right out of bed 

  On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin. 

  

  As I left that cellar believe me, I was liftin' 

  And the hops from one arm to the other shiftin' 

  Then I stopped and hauled the plug, sat there till I drained the jug 

  Had my mind all set, no spare drops I was missin'. 

  

  Then on my feet I thought I was, but wasn't 

  And for roads, I guess I saw about a dozen 

  When I reached the old porch door I went smack-o on the floor 

  On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin. 

  

  I just made one step and landed in the coal-box 

  Then from off the mantle came a Big Ben 'larm clock 

  But I finally got upstairs after passing seven bears 

  'Twas the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin. 

  

  By my bedroom door an owl stood taking tickets 

  Then the monkey stood before me baking biscuits 

  But the funniest sight of all was two roosters playing ball 

  On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin. 

  

  I saw mice as big as horses washing dishes 

  As an ape came in the door dressed up in britches 

  Then the floor fell on my head as I tried to get in bed 

  'Twas the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin. 

  

  Well, I woke next morning guess 'twas closer ev'nin' 

  And my room was certainly in an awful shape 

  Someone else had took my head and left an elephant's there instead  

  On the morning after drinking Sammy's gin.
