You're Not A Drop In The Bucket

For I'm the kinda feller that you seldom ever see
When I go honky tonkin' my heart gets on a spree
You're not a drop in the bucket when it comes to lovin' me
Lovin' me lovin' me you're not a drop in the bucket
when it comes to lovin' me
[ fiddle ]I must admit I like the gals they're always on my mind
But just remember babe I'm not the one moment kind
You're not my one and only my heart is fancy free
You're not a drop in the bucket when it comes to lovin' me
Lovin' me lovin' me you're not a drop in the bucket
when it comes to lovin' me
[ fiddle ]There's a hole in my bucket don't seem you'll ever fill
I just can't seem to get enough and I guess I never will
You never see me out with one there's always two or three
You're not a drop in the bucket when it comes to lovin' me
Lovin' me lovin' me you're not a drop in the bucket
when it comes to lovin' me
You're Not A Drop In The Bucket
