Lyrics

The other night when I come in
So drunk I couldn't see
I hooked my toe in the old doormat
And fell as flat as I could be
I had me a little old bottle ol' booze
And I didn't have no more
When I fell down, the cork flew outta the bottle
And spilled it
There's a little old rat in his hidin' place
He got that whiskey scent
He slipped right up and he got him a—
And back to his hole he went
Says back to his hole he went
Back to his hole he went
He slipped right up and he got him a— He just drank it all
And back to his hole he went
[Instrumental]
He slipped right up to my puddle of gin
And he lapped up more and more
He says, "Doggone, my red-eyed soul
I'm a-gonna get drunk once more"
"I'm gonna get drunk once more
I'm a-gonna get drunk once more"
He says "Doggone, my red-eyed soul
I'm a-gonna get drunk once more"
He washed his face with his front paws
And on his hind, leg he sat
And he's a-gettin' pretty high when he winked one eye
And he says, "Hey, where's that old tom-cat?"
"Now where's that old tomcat?
I said where's that old tomcat?"
He's a-gettin' high when he winked one eye
And he says, "Hey, buddy, where's that old tom-cat?
I can lick him and his brother"
The old tomcat come a-slippin' in
Dashed over to the middle of the floor
The cat jumped over and the rat got sober
And he never got drunk no more
He didn't get drunk no more
No, he never got drunk no more
The cat jumped over and the rat got sober, poor little feller
And he never got drunk no more
