            The Night I Stole Old Sammy Morgan's Gin
Written and recorded by Hank Snow

[Verse 1]
 C                       G7           C
Listen folks and I will tell a funny story
                                     G7
You may think it sad but I was in my glory
C                           F
Twas a cellar I crept in cobwebs brushing by my chin
       C                 G7             C
On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin

[Verse]
                            G7           C
As my hand fell on the jug I had to snicker
                                            G7
But when I started for the door I went much quicker
C                             F
For just up above my head someone jumped right out of bed
       C                 G7             C
On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin

[Verse 3]
                           G7             C
As I left that cellar believe me I was lifting
                                       G7
And the hops from one arm to the other shifting
C                                      F
Then I stopped and hauled the plug sat there till I drained the jug
       C               G7                C
Had my mind all set no spare drops I was missing


[Verse 4]
                  G7                C
Then on my feet I thought I was but wasn't
                                    G7
And for roads I guess I saw about a dozen
C                                   F
When I reached the old porch door I went smack-o on the floor
       C                 G7             C
On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin


[Verse 5]
                         G7            C
I just made one step and landed in the coal box
                                        G7
Then from off the mantle came a Big Ben alarm clock
C                                F
But I finally got upstairs after passing seven bears
         C                 G7             C
Twas the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin


[Verse 6]
                      G7               C
By my bedroom door an owl stood taking tickets
                                       G7
Then the monkey stood before me baking biscuits
C                                 F
But the funniest sight of all was two roosters playing ball
       C                 G7             C
On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin


[Verse 7]
                     G7             C
I saw mice as big as horses washing dishes
                                         G7
As an ape came in the door dressed up in britches
C                                 F
Then the floor fell on my head as I tried to get in bed
         C                 G7             C
Twas the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin


[Verse 8]
                         G7                C
Well I woke next morning guess twas closer evening
                                      G7
And my room was certainly in an awful shape
C                                 F
Someone else had took my head and left an elephant's there instead
       C             G7               C
On the morning after drinking Sammy's gin
