Hard time, hard time, 'bout to drive me wild Take a big fat woman, workin' down to my boogiein' side I keep on a-drinkin', try to drive my blues away Say, the sun's going to shine in my backdoor someday Says, I wouldn't keep on a-drinkin', if I could help my bookin' self Wouldn't be lovin' you if I could love someone else I keep on drinkin', try to drive my blues away Say, the sun's going to shine in my backdoor someday Play that thing, boy! Says, I ain't gonna tell nobody, I ain't gonna drink no more I don't feel welcome no place I go I keep on drinkin', try to drive my blues away Say, the sun's going to shine in my backdoor someday Says, I may be crazy, but I ain't nobody's fool 'Fore I'll take your doggin', I kick like a buckin' Georgi' mule I keep on drinkin', try to drive my blues away Say, the sun's going to shine in my backdoor someday
