Sometimes

Sometimes I'm alright And sometimes I get you off my mind But other times All I do is cry, I cry And sometimes I feel well And sometimes Oh honey, I feel so swell But other times Oh lord I feel like hell, a-like hell I moved on about a month ago I packed my bags and I hit the road I said "bye-bye, baby Might see you some sweet day" She cried big sour tears And closed the door After these tears fall I won't see you no more Said, don't you leave a thing To remember you by Sometimes I'm alright And sometimes I get you off my mind But other times All I do is cry, I cry And sometimes I feel well And sometimes Oh honey, I feel so swell But other times Oh honey I feel like hell, a-like hell She was my watermelon woman My cornbread queen I met the gal When she was just nineteen I said hoo-wee mama She's a thing to see We stayed out all night And fought like dogs We drank like fish And loved like hogs What a trifle of a life For a man to live Alright Sometimes I'm alright And sometimes I get you off my mind But other times All I do is cry, I cry And sometimes I feel well And sometimes Oh honey, I feel so swell But other times Oh lord I feel like hell, a-like hell So now I sit alone And mosey out of mind 'Cept every now and then At closing time There's a sweet memory At the bottom of my glass I feel it fall to my belly And rise to my heart It hits my head when I leave the bar And it's a long, long walk And I take my time Alright A-sometimes, I'm alright And sometimes I get you off my mind But other times All I do is cry, I cry And sometimes I feel well And sometimes, oh lord I feel so swell But other times Oh lord I feel like hell
