Summer time
I awaken and I'm coming down
All these vices and my vigor's fading out
Tell my baby I will always be around (I will always be around)

Beggar with a tall drink
Man about town don’t know
Chipping off the years he
Don’t get it don’t get it don’t know

Baby’s in the bed sheets
Momma's in the backyard singing so sweet
Take another tall drink
Don’t go don’t go you don’t get it no

In a board book
Little orphan boy just trying to work it out
All those fixes he’s just choking out the hound
Tell my baby I will always be around (I will always be around)

Beggar with a tall drink
Man about town don’t know
Chipping off the years he
Don’t get it don’t get it don’t know

Baby’s in the bedsheets
Momma's in the backyard singing so sweet
Take another tall drink
Don’t go don’t don’t don’t go you don’t get it no!

I remember when my body was a racehorse singing
Ale Ale
I’m not quite six feet under
I surrender to the lightning and the thunder screaming
Ale Ale Ale Ale Ale.
