I went down 31st Street, now |
|
Just to buy me a drink of alcohol, honey |
|
I went down 31st Street, now |
|
Just to buy me a drink of alcohol, now |
|
I told the old man to cut it half full a-water |
|
But that old man, y'know, didn't-a put any drop at all in |
|
So, I'm drinkin' mine straight alley can |
|
See, an I went jus' staggerin' on down the street, now |
|
I drinkin' my straight alley can, now |
|
So I went jus' staggerin' down the street, now |
|
Now but my head got so heavy |
|
My eyes couldn't even give a-peepin', now |
|
Alright, Lacey |
|
My baby tells me, 'Papa, Papa' |
|
She says, 'Sonny Boy, you know you ain't no good at all now' |
|
My baby tell me, 'Papa, Papa' now |
|
She says 'Sonny Boy, you know you ain't no good at all' |
|
She says, 'The reason you don't make me happy |
|
Because you drink too much of this old alcohol now' |
|
I said, 'But baby won't you go ridin' now |
|
Oh, can I take you ridin' in my car now?' |
|
I said, 'But baby won't you go ridin' now |
|
Can I take you ridin' wit me in my car now?' |
|
She said, 'But I'm scared you gonna drink alcohol |
|
Says, Sonny Boy, then we wouldn't ride very far. |
