The other night when I come in, so drunk I couldn't see
|
I hooked my toe in the old doormat and fell as flat as I could be
|
|
I had me a little old bottle o' booze (and I didn't have no more)
|
When I fell down - the cork flew outta the bottle (Plop!-glug glug glug....hic) - 'n spilled it
|
|
There's a little old rat in his hidin' place, he got that whiskey scent
|
He slipped right up 'n he got him a sssshrlp, 'n back to his hole he went
|
|
Says back to his hole he went, back to his hole he went
|
He slipped right up 'n he got him a sssshrlp (he's drinkin' it all) 'n back to his hole he
|
went
|
|
He slipped right up to my puddle o' gin and he lapped up more and more
|
He says "Doggone, my red-eyed soul, I'm a-gonna get drunk once more"
|
|
"I gonna get drunk once more, I'm a-gonna get drunk once more
|
He says "Doggone, my red-eyed soul, I'm a-gonna get drunk once more"
|
|
He washed his face with his front paws and on his hind leg he sat
|
And he's a-gettin' pretty high when he winked one eye and he says "(hic) Hey, where's that
|
old tom-cat?"
|
|
"Now where's that old tom-cat? I said where's that old tom-cat?
|
He's a-gettin' high when he winked one eye and he says "(hic) Hey, buddy, where's
|
that old tom-cat? (I can lick him and his brother)"
|
|
The old tom-cat come a-slippin' in, dashed over to the middle o' the floor
|
The cat jumped over and the rat got sober and he never got drunk no more
|
|
He didn' get drunk no more, no he never got drunk no more
|
The cat jumped over and the rat got sober (poor little feller) and he never got dunk no
|
more
