Johnny Bond - 10 Little Bottles lyrics
rate meA friend of mine gave me<br />
Ten little bottles of<br />
Some special stuff that he<br />
Had brewed up hisself<br />
<br />
So I took it and hid it<br />
Down in my basement<br />
But my wife found out about it<br />
And she told me to<br />
Get rid of it or else<br />
<br />
Since I didn't like the<br />
Way she said, or else<br />
I went down there and proceeded<br />
To carry out her instructions<br />
<br />
I set the ten little<br />
Bottles on the drainboard<br />
Picked up the first bottle<br />
Pulled the cork out of it<br />
And poured it down the sink<br />
That is, all except one<br />
Little swaller, which I drank<br />
<br />
I picked up the next bottle<br />
And I pulled the cork out of it<br />
And I poured it down the sink<br />
All except one little swaller<br />
Which I drank<br />
<br />
I picked up the next bottle<br />
And I pulled the sink out of it<br />
And I poured it down the sink<br />
All except one little swaller<br />
Which I drank<br />
<br />
I picked up the next sink<br />
And I pulled the bottle out of it<br />
And I poured it down the cork<br />
All except one little swaller<br />
Which I drank<br />
<br />
I picked up the next cork<br />
And I pulled the sink out of it<br />
And I poured it down the bottle<br />
All except one teensy weensy<br />
Little swaller, which I sank<br />
<br />
I, I, I usually have a little<br />
Difficulty with this number<br />
You see I come from a<br />
Great long line of stinkers<br />
Uh, drinkers<br />
<br />
I had an uncle that<br />
Drank a quart a day<br />
Every day of his life<br />
Heck, me I spell more than that<br />
<br />
No kidding<br />
He could drink a quart<br />
And not even stagger<br />
Heck, he couldn't even move<br />
<br />
We told him, we says<br />
You better quit drinking that stuff<br />
It's gonna kill you<br />
Sure enough, it killed him<br />
He died last year at the<br />
Age of a hundred and two<br />
<br />
Well, don't laugh<br />
We dug him up last week<br />
He looks better than y'all do now<br />
<br />
A guy back here asked me, he says<br />
What's the difference between<br />
A drunk and an alchoholic<br />
Well, I'll tell you<br />
Us drunks don't have to attend all<br />
Them dang old meetings, you know<br />
<br />
I don't like your bartenders here<br />
In Nashville, I'll tell you that<br />
I says to this guy, give me<br />
Something cold and full of gin<br />
He says, take my wife<br />
<br />
You see, you got me all confused<br />
How many bottles have I got left<br />
How many have I got, five<br />
You're seeing double<br />
There's only two and a half<br />
<br />
I want you to know one other thing<br />
You better not say nothing<br />
Against my wife, buster<br />
Cause I'll have you know<br />
I'll have you know that I<br />
Got the wifest nice in<br />
The whole United States
