Whisky Drinking Woman

(album: Hair Of The Dog - 1975)

Close up the bar you know the gates of the brewery
She's out there every night
And she sure ain't drinking tea
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now and it sure is getting bad

[chorus:]
That whiskey drinking woman
Is making a poor man out of me

She's got bottles in the kitchen
Even got them in my bed
Most times I see her now
She's three parts out of her head
Don't know where I went wrong
I sure try to treat her right
But it sure upsets me
Seeing her juiced up every night.

[chorus:]

[lead:]

Got to solve this problem
Won't you help me find the key
The way that things are going
I'll have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smiling
With a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something
Don't know how much I can stand

[chorus:]

Got to get myself together, start working something out
Maybe if I tried some booze, I'd know what it's about
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
But she's got this problem now
And it sure is getting bad.

[chorus:]
