Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's just come day and go day
Baby, that is all you know
It's just come day and go day
Baby, that is all you know
Walkin' from tavern to tavern
Spendin' all of my dough
[Verse 2]
You drink whiskey for your breakfast
After that it's all day long
You drink whiskey for your breakfast
After that it's all day long
When I ask you about my money
Baby, you swear you ain't done nothin' wrong
[Verse 3]
You should be like some women
Go to a show sometime
You should be like some women
Go to a show sometime
It would make you a better woman
Take drinkin' off your mind
[Verse 4]
Going to leave it to you
Baby, and I'm not going to lie
Going to leave it to you
Baby, and I ain't going to lie
Mama, you ain't no trouble
Soon as you get high
