Alcohol and Jake Blues |
Woke up this morning, alcohol was 'round my bed |
Says, «I'm gonna get drunk, I’m gonna have to speak my trouble in mind» |
Mmm, mmm, (spoken: Oh, moan it a long time) mmm |
Mmm, I ain’t gonna be here long (spoken: Moan it a long time, boy) |
Says, «I'm leaving town, I’m going to worry you off my mind» |
I drink so much of Jake, till it done give me the limber leg |
(spoken: And that’s sure to mess you up) |
Drinking so much of Jake, till it done give me the limber leg |
(spoken: Sure messes you up, boy, that) |
If I don’t quit drinking it every morning, sure gonna kill me dead (spoken: |
You ain’t no lying man) |
Mmm, mmm |
Mmm, (spoken: You ain’t got), alcohol gonna kill me dead |
And if it don’t kill me, Lord, it sure gonna put me down |
(spoken: You ain’t gotta put 'em on me 'cause you got 'em) |
I woke up, up this morning, crying, alcohol on my mind |
Woke up this morning, alcohol was on my mind |
I got them alcohol blues and I can’t rest easy here |
