I've been drinkin' since a half past noon And God knows that I've tried The sun's gone down, the Devil's out And I'm not hard to find I'm placed at this here altar Where many men have died At the bottom of this empty glass Where you I just might find
So wake me in the morning And send me on my way Pick me up and dust me off And tell me it's okay I'm sorry for all the things that I Had done or might had said Twas all in good fun The drink went to my head
I've been sober now for six long months And god knows that I've tried (yeah, right!) But every time that I pass a pub I break right down and cry So help me I now wish that I Had never gotten paid For here I am, I'm drunk again And I've spent my life away
So wake me in the morning And send me on my way Pick me up and dust me off And tell me it's okay I'm sorry for all the things that I Had done or might had said Twas all in good fun The drink went to my head
If I fall down just pick me up again
So wake me in the morning And send me on my way Pick me up and dust me off And tell me it's okay I'm sorry for all the things that I Had done or might had said Twas all in good fun The drink went to my head
