Actin? like a dern 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.
Well, doggone her, anyway!
She can?t say that I didn?t try-y-y!
Pour me another one -
I?m finished with the other one.
I?m drinkin? my baby good-bye.

Every time we disagree,
She was always askin? me,
?Are you a man or a mouse??
Now that she?s gone,
She prob?ly thinks that I?m home
Just a-mopin? around the house.
She prob?ly thinks
That she?s the one thing
I just couldn?t get along without.
Well, wouldn?t it surprise her?
I got a sympathizer
As long as these bottles hold out.
Well, I?m a-sittin? on a bar stool,
Actin? like a dern fool:
That?s what I?m a-doin? today!
And I?m sittin? here drinkin? -
Tryin? to keep from thinkin?
I?m a-boozin? my troubles away.
Well, now, I couldn?t make her stay.
Well, doggone her, anyway!
She can?t say that I didn?t try-y-y!
Pour me another one -
I?m finished with the other one.
I?m drinkin? my baby good-bye.

Aaaaaaaaaa-yeeee!

Every time I tried to
Sit down and talk to her
It always ended up in a fuss.
I tried to reason with her
Right up to the time
That she got on that Greyhound bus.
It?d be better
If I could forget her
?Cause she sure forgot about me.
And if it takes all night,
I?m gon? do it right:
I?m gonna sit here till I can?t see!
Well, I?m a-sittin? on a bar stool,
Actin? like a dern fool:
That?s what I?m a-doin? today!
And I?m sittin? here drinkin? -
Tryin? to keep from thinkin?
I?m a-boozin? my troubles away.

I?m drinkin? my baby good-bye.
