Babe you got me up a tree a way out on a limb |
|
You told me lies you let me on then turned me down for him |
|
You took my heart tore it all apart and then threw it away |
|
And now that it's all over babe here's all I can say |
|
Oh take my glass fill it up fill it to the brim |
|
If I can't drown my troubles babe I'll teach 'em how to swim |
|
If I can't teach 'em how to swim I'll teach 'em how to float |
|
So please just pass one more glass to please my dusty throat |
|
Grandpa's swallowed his first drink when he was only eight |
|
The doctor warned him then and there to stop before it was too late |
|
But grandpa was a real strong man he wouldn't heed the plea |
|
Now he's done drink hisself to death he died at ninety-three |
|
So since my grandpa lived so long I want to be like him |
|
If I can't drown my troubles babe I'll teach 'em how to swim |
|
So here I sit in this old bar my future's looking dim |
|
If I can't drown my troubles babe I'll teach 'em how to swim |
|
Oh take my glass fill it up... |
