[Verse 1]
My daddy was a good man
My mother was a saint
But for every good thing that they were
It seems somehow I ain't

[Chorus]
And I know it's wrong
But understand
When the Lord made me
He made a wrong doin' man

[Verse 2]
Now I can meet a good girl
And steal her heart away
But when other eyes start tempting me
Lordy I've just gotta play

[Chorus]
And I know it's wrong
But understand
When the Lord made me
He made a wrong doin' man

[Verse 3]
Well now you can tell your tall tales
About the things you've done
But when it comes to my turn
I'll bet I tell a bigger onе
[Chorus]
And I know it's wrong (Know it's wrong)
But understand (Understand)
When thе Lord made me
He made a wrong doin' man

[Verse 4]
Now I may not be so big
And I'm not a man of might
But brother don't you get me mad
'Cause I've been known to fight

[Chorus]
And I know it's wrong (Know it's wrong)
But understand (Understand)
When the Lord made me
He made a wrong doin' man

[Verse 5]
Well, I know it's wrong to gamble
I'm aware of this and yet
If you give me the right odds
You got yourself a bet

[Chorus]
And I know it's wrong
But understand
When the Lord made me
He made a wrong doin' man
[Verse 6]
Now listen all you nice boys
Take your gals and run and hide
'Cause if they flag my choo choo train
I'm sure gonna let 'em ride

[Chorus]
And I know it's wrong (Know it's wrong)
But understand (Understand)
When the Lord made me
He made a wrong doin' man
When the Lord made me
He made a wrong doin' man
