Teach 'Em How To Swim |
| Babe you got me up a tree a way out on a limb |
| You told me lies you let me on then turned me down for him |
| You took my heart tore it all apart and then threw it away |
| And now that it’s all over babe here’s all I can say |
| Oh take my glass fill it up fill it to the brim |
| If I can’t drown my troubles babe I’ll teach 'em how to swim |
| If I can’t teach 'em how to swim I’ll teach 'em how to float |
| So please just pass one more glass to please my dusty throat |
| Grandpa’s swallowed his first drink when he was only eight |
| The doctor warned him then and there to stop before it was too late |
| But grandpa was a real strong man he wouldn’t heed the plea |
| Now he’s done drink hisself to death he died at ninety-three |
| So since my grandpa lived so long I want to be like him |
| If I can’t drown my troubles babe I’ll teach 'em how to swim |
| So here I sit in this old bar my future’s looking dim |
| If I can’t drown my troubles babe I’ll teach 'em how to swim |
| Oh take my glass fill it up… |
