What's the Bottle Done to My Baby

Loretta Lynn · Loretta Lynn Writes 'Em and Sings 'Em [1970]

(Loretta Lynn)



We used to plan and talk of what we'd do but

Now you let the bottle talk for you

But I still love the man you used to be

Oh, what's the bottle done to my baby?



What's the bottle done to my baby?

I've watched your mind go with that beer and whiskey flow

It's awful, oh it's awful what a change

What's the bottle done to my baby?



--- Instrumental ---



Back before the bottle took command

I'd tell the world I loved its biggest man

But you've not gone too proud right out of me

Oh, what's the bottle done to my baby?



What's the bottle done to my baby?

I've watched your mind go with that beer and whiskey flow

It's awful, oh it's awful what a change

What's the bottle done to my baby?...
