What's The Use Of Getting Sober |
Boy, you listen to your old Pappy |
Yeah, Pappy |
And stop drinking so much |
I’m, I’m ain’t been doing so much drinking, Pappy |
Shut up, boy! |
You drink all day and you drink all night |
And son you know that, that ain’t right |
Oh Pappy, you just give me a chance, I, I can, I |
Shut up, boy! |
Boy, you’re lookin' thin as a twig |
I know that |
Look liked your dear old Pappy you’re about to blow your wig |
Oh I’m gonna blow my wig, Pappy |
What’s the use of getting sober |
When you’re gonna get drunk again |
Oh, Sam done something fine |
When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine |
I love my whiskey and I love my gin |
Every time you see me I’m in my sin |
So what’s the use of getting sober |
When you’re gonna get drunk again |
I went out last night about half past one |
Thought I’d whoop it up a little and have some fun |
I got me a half pint about half past two |
Mmm, mmm, the way I was feeling you know what I wanna do |
Got me a pint about half past four |
Felt so good, went out and got me some more |
Got me a quart about half past five |
Boy, that was so nice didn’t know if I was dead or alive |
So what’s the use of getting sober |
If you’re gonna get drunk again |
Oh, Sam done something fine |
When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine |
I love my whiskey and I love my gin |
Every time you see me I’m in my sin |
So what’s the use of getting sober |
When you’re gonna get drunk again |
Well I’ve been thinking |
But I keep drinking |
I guess I’m 'bout lose my mind |
