Well, yes, people I am a poor, drunken hearted boy
Well, yeah, people I am a poor, drunken hearted boy
I have a whole ocean of trouble
And just a little, half pint of joy

I drink because I'm worried, I don't drink because I'm dry
I know if I keep on drinking, I'm liable to drink away my life
But that's alright

Baby, bring me another half-a-pint
I'm trying to drown these blues, yes I am
People if you had my trouble
Baby, I know you'd be drinking too

Alright
Baby, bring me some Old Grandad's 100 proof
Don't play like that man, you'll make me thirsty
Oh, Lord

Baby, if I keep on drinking I know I can't last too long
Woman, if I keep on drinking people ya know I can't last too long
That's alright, cause when I'm dead and buried
Please think about me when you hear this song
