Drunken Man's Prayer Songtext
von Johnny Shines

I would reel and rockin′, fall all on my face
I was reelin' and rockin′, fall all on my face
I would try to beat Old Grandad, I believe I'm 'bout to lose this race


I guess I say it then, about a thousand times before
Well, I guess I say it, then, ′bout a thousand times before
If I ever get sober, I won′t drink no more

Whiskey, you blackened my eye, and you peel the bark off my shin
Whiskey, you blackened my eye, and you peel the bark off my shin
Whiskey, please give me a break, so I can tell Mama where I been

Whiskey won't let me sleep, it keep me ′wake and losing my appetite
Whiskey won't let me sleep, it keep me awake and losing my appetite
It keep me steady home, barkin′, but I never win a fight
