I started out with one gold dollar
Gambled with a man and I won me another
I bought me a gun and I robbed my brother
I’m bad but I don’t care, boys
Gonna be a millionaire

Hopped on a ship and I sailed the waves
Dealt in rum and I dealt in slaves
Sent my captain to a watery grave
He’s gone but I don’t care, boys
Gonna be a millionaire
He’s gone but I don’t care, boys
Gonna be a millionaire

How many of you wanna see me dead?
How many of you wanna have my head?
How many of you just live your lives
Wishing you were me, boys
Wishing you were me?

Well, I married rich, a pretty little wife
Brought her misery every day of her life
She slit her wrists with a silver knife
But they can’t pin that on me, boys
Her money belongs to me

And I found myself in a good position
Bought myself a cheap politician
Bought myself a little election
That’s just how it went, boys
Now I own the president

How many of you wanna see me dead?
How many of you wanna have my head?
How many of you just live your lives
Wishing you were me boys
Wishing you were me?

Now when you pray get on your knees
And ask the Lord to forgive you, please
If you think of it, say one for me
I know where I’m bound, boys
That’s just where I’m bound

I started out with one gold dollar
Gambled with a man and I won me another
Bought me a gun and I robbed my brother
I’m bad but I don’t care, boys
Gonna be a millionaire
I’m bad but I don’t care, boys
Gonna be a millionaire
