Sometimes

Sometimes I'm alright
And sometimes
I get you off my mind
But other times
All I do is cry, I cry
And sometimes I feel well
And sometimes
Oh honey, I feel so swell
But other times
Oh lord I feel like hell, a-like hell

I moved on about a month ago
I packed my bags and I hit the road
I said "bye-bye, baby
Might see you some sweet day"
She cried big sour tears
And closed the door
After these tears fall
I won't see you no more
Said, don't you leave a thing
To remember you by

Sometimes I'm alright
And sometimes
I get you off my mind
But other times
All I do is cry, I cry
And sometimes I feel well
And sometimes
Oh honey, I feel so swell
But other times
Oh honey I feel like hell, a-like hell

She was my watermelon woman
My cornbread queen
I met the gal
When she was just nineteen
I said hoo-wee mama
She's a thing to see
We stayed out all night
And fought like dogs
We drank like fish
And loved like hogs
What a trifle of a life
For a man to live
Alright

Sometimes I'm alright
And sometimes
I get you off my mind
But other times
All I do is cry, I cry
And sometimes I feel well
And sometimes
Oh honey, I feel so swell
But other times
Oh lord I feel like hell, a-like hell

So now I sit alone
And mosey out of mind
'Cept every now and then
At closing time
There's a sweet memory
At the bottom of my glass
I feel it fall to my belly
And rise to my heart
It hits my head when I leave the bar
And it's a long, long walk
And I take my time
Alright

A-sometimes, I'm alright
And sometimes
I get you off my mind
But other times
All I do is cry, I cry
And sometimes I feel well
And sometimes, oh lord
I feel so swell
But other times
Oh lord I feel like hell
