Janis Joplin
What Good Can Drinkin’ Do (Live)
[Spoken intro]
This is a song called What Good Can Drinkin' Do
That I wrote one night after drinking myself into a stupor
[Verse 1]
What good can drinkin' do
What good can drinkin' do
When I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue
[Verse 2]
There's a glass on the table
They say it's going to ease all my pain
There's a glass on the table
They say it's going to ease all my pain
When I drink it down
But the next day I feel the same
[Verse 3]
Give me whiskey
Give me bourbon, give me gin
Oh, give me whiskey
Give me bourbon, give me gin
It don't matter what I'm drinkin'
Long as it drowns the sorrow I'm in
[Verse 4]
Now, my man he left me
Child, and he left me here
Mm, my man he left me
Child, he left me here
When I'm feeling lowdown
Just get me another drink of beer
[Verse 5]
When I start drinking Friday
Start drinking Friday night
Lord, I start drinking Friday
Start drinking Friday night
But then I wake up on Sunday
Child, ain't nothing that's right
[Verse 1]
What good can drinkin' do
What good can drinkin' do
When I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue
