Lyrics

I called up my bootlegger
Begged him to come to town
Said, "If you don't bring me 'nother quart of corn
I'm gonna jump in that river and drown
Gonna jump in that river and drown"
And it's oh, oh, it's a hard life
When you're a drinker born
The only thing I ever did wrong
Was take that first sip of corn
My mama always told me
"Drinkin' be the ruin of you"
Now I've lost my home and I've lost my love
What is a poor girl to do?
Tell me, what is a poor girl to do?
And it's oh, oh, it's a hard life
When you're a drinker born
The only thing I ever did wrong
Was take that first sip of corn
Now don't you see that lonesome dove
Flyin' from pine to pine?
She's mournin' for her own lost home
Just like I mourn for mine
Just like I mourn for mine
And it's oh, oh, it's a hard life
When you're a drinker born
The only thing I ever did wrong
Was take that first sip of corn
Won't you pass me your bottle
Be it corn or rye?
If I don't get some whiskey soon
Gonna lay me down and die
Gonna lay me down and die
And it's oh, oh, it's a hard life
When you're a drinker born
The only thing I ever did wrong
Was take that first sip of corn
