looking for title/author (Double-Breasted Mansion)

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.
