Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye

Sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a damn fool

That's what I'm a-doin' today

Sittin' here, drinkin', tryna keep 'em thinkin'

I'm a-boozin' my troubles away

But now, I couldn't make her stay, well, 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 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 damn fool

That's what I'm a-doin' today

And I'm sittin' here, drinkin', tryna keep 'em thinkin'

I'm a-boozin' my troubles away

And now, I couldn't make her stay, well, 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

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 'til I can't see

Well, I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a damn fool

That's what I'm a-doin' today

And I'm sittin' here, drinkin', tryna keep 'em thinkin'

I'm boozin' my troubles away

But now, I couldn't make her stay, well, 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 damn fool

That's what I'ma doin' today

And I'm a-sittin' here, drinkin', tryna keep 'em thinkin'

I'm a-boozin' my troubles away

But now, I couldn't make her stay, well, 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

I said, pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

I said, pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
