Walkin' With Sorrow

through a lonely day
with those empty bottles
tryin' to ease my pain
I'm still here drinkin'
over the good ol days
when I had my gal
and everything was ok
(Yodeling)
Well walkin' with sorrow
is a lonely way
with those empty bottles
tryin' to ease my pain
I'm still here thinkin'
about the good ol days
when I had my gal
and everything was ok
