My father sang this song all his life and I am looking for true lyrics, title, possible author???
Some of it goes like this:
I once was young and handsome, I owned one-half the world ???? ??? But, I lost it all at Keno And everynight I dream of the double-breasted Mansion on the hill.
There is also something about workers drinking all his liquor and smoking his tobacco?
Just curious. I would love to know the real history to the song.
