Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye

Sittin' on a barstool

actin' like a darn fool

that's what I'm a-doin' today

Sittin' here drinkin'

tryin' to keep from thinkin'

I'm a-boozin' my troubles away

Well now I couldn't make her stay

but doggone her anyway

she can't say that I didn't try

Pour me another one

I'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Everytime we disagreed

she was always askin' me

"Are you a man or a mouse?"

Now that she's gone

she probably thinks I'm home

just a-mopin' around the house

She probably thinks

as long as these bottles hold out

Well I'm-a

Sittin' on a barstool

actin' like a darn fool

that's what I'm a-doin' today

Sittin' here drinkin'

tryin' to keep from thinkin'

I'm a-boozin' my troubles away

Well now I couldn't make her stay

but doggone her anyway

she can't say that I didn't try

Pour me another one

I'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Every time I try to

sit down and talk to her

it always ends up in a fuss

I tried to reason with her

right up to the time

she got on that Greyhound bus

It would be better

if I could forget her

'cause she sure forgot about me

And if it takes all night

I'm gonna do it right

I'm gonna sit here till I can't see

Well I'm a-

I'm finished with the other one

Pour me another one

I'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

I said pour me another one

I'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
