Lyrics
Now I would not drink no whisky,
But I cannot help myself,
For the one I love,
She’s loving someone else.

CHORUS
That’s why I keep drinking.
Tryin’ to drive my blues away,
Oh! baby, blues away.
Now Momma, ain’t that sun gonna shine, honey,
In my back door some day.

Now the woman I love,
She’s gone back home,
I don’t have nobody,
To teach me right from wrong.

CHORUS

Now the woman I love,
She don’t pay me no mind,
The one I don’t like,
I see her all the time.

CHORUS

Now I really don’t like no whisky,
And I can’t stand gin,
Because every time I get drinking,
My troubles just begin.

CHORUS
