Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye
Sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a damn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
Sittin' here, drinkin', tryna keep 'em thinkin'
I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
But now, I couldn't make her stay, well, 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 we disagreed
She was always askin' me
"Are you a man or a mouse?"
Now that she's gone
She probably thinks that I'm home
Just mopin' around the house
She probably 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
'Cause, I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a damn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
And I'm sittin' here, drinkin', tryna keep 'em thinkin'
I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
And now, I couldn't make her stay, well, 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 end up in a fuss
I tried to reason with her right up 'til the time
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 'til I can't see
Well, I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a damn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
And I'm sittin' here, drinkin', tryna keep 'em thinkin'
I'm boozin' my troubles away
But now, I couldn't make her stay, well, 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
Well, I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a damn fool
That's what I'ma doin' today
And I'm a-sittin' here, drinkin', tryna keep 'em thinkin'
I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
But now, I couldn't make her stay, well, 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
I said, 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
That's what I'm a-doin' today
Sittin' here, drinkin', tryna keep 'em thinkin'
I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
But now, I couldn't make her stay, well, doggone her anyway

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
