Drinking Blues Songtext
von Lucille Bogan

Blues has got me drinkin′, trouble's got me thinkin′
And it's goin' to carry me to my grave
I said blues has got me drinkin′, trouble′s got me thinkin'
And it′s goin' to carry me to my grave

And I′m goin' to keep on drinkin′, the rest of my worried days

Don't a woman look real funny, when she wakes up cold in hand
And the broad ain't got a dollar to give the house-rent man?
Don′t a woman feel real funny, when the broad wakes up cold in hand
And she ain′t got a dollar, oh, to meet the house-rent man?


Trouble's got me thinkin′, and I just can't keep from drinkin′
And I'm tryin′ to drive my worried blues away
Trouble's got me thinkin', and I just can′t keep from drinkin′
Tryin' to drive my worried blues away

How I been worried each and every lonesome day

Now my heart is achin′, and whiskey's all it′s takin'
Just to drive these blues away
Now my heart is achin′, and whiskey's all it's takin′
Just to drive these blues away
And I stay drunk each and every worried day

Beat ′em a long time, baby
