Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye

Well, I'ma sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
Sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'
'Cause I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
Now people, I couldn't make her stay, doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Every time we disagreed
She was always askin' me
Are you a man or a mouse?
Now that she's gone
She probably thinks that I'm home
Just a-mopin' around the house
She probably thinks that she's the one thing
I just couldn't get along without
Well, wouldn't it surprise her, I got a sympathizer
As long as these bottles hold out

'Cause, I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
Sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'
I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
Well, now I couldn't make her stay, doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Every time I try to sit down and talk to her
It always end up in a fuss
I tried to reason with her right up 'til the time
She got on that Greyhound bus
Now if you'd believe it'd be better if I could forget her
'Cause she sure forgot about me
And if takes all night, I'm gon' do it right
I'm gonna sit here 'til I can't see

'Cause I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
I'm sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'
'Cause I'm boozin' my troubles away
Now people, I couldn't make her stay, doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Well, I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
Sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'
'Cause I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
Now people, I couldn't make her stay, doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
Come on and pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
