Drunken Spree

Love my darling, yes, I do

I love her till the sea goes dry

And if I thought she didn't love me

I'd take morphine and die

It was late last night when Willie come home

He made one rap on the door

"Is that you Willie? I would let you know

Darling, don't you rap no more"

The last good word I heard my mother say

"Sonny, come hold my head

Oh me, oh my

Never let a dollar by"

I pawned my watch and I pawned my chain

I pawned my good diamond ring

If that don't settle my drunken spree

Lord, I'll never drink no more

You hand me down my Jubilee

And all my dirty clothes

It's late last night when Willie come home

She made one rap on the door

"Is that you, Willie? I'd let you know

Honey, don't you rap no more"

I love my darling, yes I do

I love her till the sea goes dry

And if I thought she didn't love me

I'd take morphine and die
