Mose Scarlett - Good Liquor Gonna Carry Me Down lyrics
rate meI know a little girl<br />
'Bout sixteen years old<br />
Said, "Bill, stop your drinkin'<br />
I will satisfy your soul"<br />
<br />
But I just keep on drinkin'<br />
Yes, I keep on drinkin'<br />
Well, I just keep on drinkin'<br />
Till good liquor carry me down<br />
<br />
Now, my woman told me<br />
About fifteen years ago<br />
"Bill, you're gonna drink one of these mornings<br />
And you'll never drink no more"<br />
<br />
But I just keep on drinkin'<br />
Yes, I keep on drinkin'<br />
Well, I just keep on drinkin'<br />
Till good liquor carry me down<br />
<br />
Now I wake up in the morning<br />
Hold my bottle tight<br />
By the time I lay down at night<br />
Mama, this whole gallon's out of sight<br />
<br />
'Cause I just keep on drinkin'<br />
Yes, I keep on drinkin'<br />
Well, I just keep on drinkin'<br />
Till good liquor carry me down<br />
<br />
Well, I went to the doctor<br />
With my head in my hands<br />
Doctor said, "Big Bill, I think<br />
I'll have to give you monkey glands"<br />
<br />
'Cause you just keep on drinkin'<br />
Yes, I keep on drinkin'<br />
I'm gonna keep on drinkin'<br />
Till good liquor carry me down<br />
<br />
Well, my woman told me<br />
"Quit your drinkin' come on home<br />
'Cause if you don't big Bill, some other man<br />
Gonna carry your business home"<br />
<br />
But I just keep on drinkin'<br />
Yes, I keep on drinkin'<br />
I wanna keep on drinkin'<br />
Till good liquor carry me down<br />
<br />
Yeah there, keep on drinkin'<br />
Till good liquor carry me down<br />
Hmm, carry me down<br />
Yes, carry me down<br />
Oh, carry me down
