Sittin’ on a bar stool,
Actin’ like a dern fool:
That’s what I’m a-doin’ today!
Sittin’ here drinkin’ -
Tryin’ to keep from thinkin’
I’m a-boozin’ my troubles away.
Well, now, I couldn’t make her stay.
Well, doggone her, anyway!
She can’t say that I didn’t try-y-y!
Pour me another one -
I’m finished with the other one.
I’m drinkin’ my baby good-bye.
Every time we disagree,
She was always askin’ me,
“Are you a man or a mouse?”
Now that she’s gone,
She prob’ly thinks that I’m home
Just a-mopin’ around the house.
She prob’ly 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.
Well, I’m a-sittin’ on a bar stool,
Actin’ like a dern fool:
That’s what I’m a-doin’ today!
And I’m sittin’ here drinkin’ -
Tryin’ to keep from thinkin’
I’m a-boozin’ my troubles away.
Well, now, I couldn’t make her stay.
Well, doggone her, anyway!
She can’t say that I didn’t try-y-y!
Pour me another one -
I’m finished with the other one.
I’m drinkin’ my baby good-bye.
Aaaaaaaaaa-yeeee!
Every time I tried to
Sit down and talk to her
It always ended up in a fuss.
I tried to reason with her
Right up to the time
That she got on that Greyhound bus.
It’d be better
If I could forget her
‘Cause she sure forgot about me.
And if it takes all night,
I’m gon’ do it right:
I’m gonna sit here till I can’t see!
Well, I’m a-sittin’ on a bar stool,
Actin’ like a dern fool:
That’s what I’m a-doin’ today!
And I’m sittin’ here drinkin’ -
Tryin’ to keep from thinkin’
I’m a-boozin’ my troubles away.
Well, now, I couldn’t make her stay.
Well, doggone her, anyway!
She can’t say that I didn’t try-y-y!

I said to pour me another one -
I’m finished with the other one.
I’m drinkin’ my baby good-bye.
I said, pour me another one -
I’m finished with the other one.
I’m drinkin’ my baby good-bye.
