Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a darn fool That's what I'm a doin' today Sitting' here drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin' I'm a boozin' my troubles away Well now I couldn't make her stay, "dog-gone her anyway." She can't say that I didn't try So pour me another one Im Finished with the other one I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
Spoken: Everytime we disagreed She was always askin' me Are you a man or a mouse Now that she's gone She probably thinks I'm home Just a 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
Repeat Chorus
Every time I try to sit down and talk to her It always ends up in a fuss I tried to reason with her right up to the time She got on that Greyhound bus It would be better if I could forget her 'Cause she sure forgot about me And if takes all night I'm gonna' do it right I'm gonna' sit here till I "can't see."
