The Lords - The Original Singles Collection: The a-Sides

Have a Drink On Me

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me

In 1880 down a dusty road
Along came a miner with a big fat load
He was caked in dirt from his head to his foot
His hair so black that it looked like soot

Well he reined in his mule and he hitched him to the rail
And he said, "Oh fella, it's the end of the trail"
Well he ambled down to the old saloon
He said, "I know it's early and it ain't quite noon"
He said, "Hey, hey, everybody drink on me"
Everybody

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me

I just got a letter from down in Tennessee
It said my uncle died and left an oil well to me
He said, "Hey, hey, everybody drink on me"

I've been digging all my life and I nearly got to hell
But my uncle dug potatoes and he stuck an oil well
I said, hey, hey, everybody drink on me
I mean it

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me

Well the black gold, yellow gold, guess it's all the same
Take my tip and give up the minin' game
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Well sell your shovel and your old long-johns
You can make a fortune writing Adam Faith songs
I said, "Hey, hey, everybody drink on me"
One more time

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me, oh yeah

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
