I went down on Shannon Street |
|
Now to buy some alcohol |
|
I told him to put it half-full a-water |
|
But they didn't put it in any drop at all |
|
So, I drunk my straight whiskey |
|
Now an I staggered on in the street |
|
So, I drink my straight whiskey |
|
Now an I staggered on in the street |
|
Now but my head got so heavy |
|
That my eyes couldn't even give a peep |
|
Lacey tells me, 'Papa, papa' |
|
Well, you ain't no good at all' |
|
Lacey tells me, 'Papa, papa' |
|
Well, you ain't no good at all' |
|
Now she say, 'You don't make me happy |
|
So long as you fool with this alcohol' |
|
Sometimes I tell her, 'Oooh |
|
Lacey, this alcohol is killin' me' |
|
Sometimes I tell her, 'Oooh |
|
Lacey, this alcohol is killin' me' |
|
Well, now they told me if I didn't quit drinkin' |
|
In some lonesome cemetery I would be |
|
I say, 'Lacey baby, won't you go ridin' |
|
Can an take you ridin' wit' me in my car?' |
|
I say, 'Lacey, baby won't you go ridin' |
|
Can an take you ridin' wit' me in my car?' |
|
She says, 'Sonny Boy, I'm scared you'll get a drink a-whiskey |
|
An I'm scared that we won't ride very fer. |
