Drinkin' My Blues Away Songtext
von Tampa Red

don′t drink because I'm dry, mama. I drink because I′m blue
No matter how I try, babe, I can't get along with you
And I just keep on drinking, drinking every night and day
Well, I just keep on drinking, trying to drive my blues away


Can't eat for talking. I can′t sleep for crying
You keep me worried, bothered all the time
And I just keep on drinking, drinking every night and day
Well, I just keep on drinking, trying to drive my blues away

I can′t be happy for being so blue
No matter how I try, babe, I can't get along with you
So I just keep on drinking, drinking every night and day
Well, I just keep on drinking, trying to drive my blues away

Now, if I could hold my own heart in my hand
I would show all of you people just what I have to stand
So I just keep on drinking, drinking every night and day
Well, I just keep on drinking, trying to drive my blues away
