Well my daddy never drank no whiskey
|
He never wet his liver with gin
|
My momma said she loved nobody else
|
But she really loved the drinking man
|
|
Respectable though my daddy was
|
Until he heard of mama's sin
|
He drank every drop of liquor in this place
|
And we never saw my daddy again
|
|
Because everybody loves a drinking man
|
Everybody loves a drinking man
|
|
Well my uncle was a real good talker
|
He'd talk the beak off a myna bird
|
Until someone dropped a glass of whiskey in his hand
|
He never said another word
|
|
Because everybody loves a drinking man
|
Everybody loves a drinking man
|
|
So understand that people will judge you
|
On your good and not your words
|
So if you're looking for a favor or two
|
You may likely die of thirst
|
|
Because everybody loves a drinking man
|
Everybody loves a drinking man
|
Everybody loves a drinking man
|
Everybody loves a drinking man
|
