Good Liquor Gonna Carry Me Down

Lord, I know a little girl

'Bout sixteen years old

She says, "Bill, stop drinkin'

I will satisfy your soul



But I just keep on-a drinkin'

Yeah, I keep on drinkin'

Yeah, I just keep on drinkin'

Till good liquor carry me down



Now, my woman told me

About fifteen years ago

"Bill, you gonna drink one of these mornings

And you'll never drink no more



But I just keep on-a drinkin'

Yeah, I keep on drinkin'

Yeah, I just keep on drinkin'

Till good liquor carry me down



Yes, I went to the doctor

With my head in my hands

The doctor said, "Big Bill, I think

I'll have to give you monkey glands"



But I just keep on-a drinkin'

Yeah, I keep on drinkin'

Yeah, I just keep on drinkin'

Till good liquor carry me down



Lord, my woman told me to stop drinkin'

And come on home

Say, "If you don't big bill, some other man

Gonna carry your business home"



But I just keep on-a drinkin'

Yeah, I keep on drinkin'

Yeah, I just keep on drinkin'

Till good liquor carry me down
