Bottle Of Whiskey

I left home at the age of ten

I ain't never been back again

Got me a gig, a travelin' minstrel show

And so many women would've let him go

Tell ya' what I'm gonna do

Drink a bottle of whiskey,

Then I'll play the blues for you

I was married, to a selfish wife

I had to leave, and take back by life

Me and my kids, you know we are real tight

God bless their souls, 'cause they doin' alright

Tell ya' what I'm gonna do

Drink a bottle of whiskey,

Then I'll play the blues for you

Way down in Clarksdale, most folks are poor

They don't smile, like they did before

You know the Delta, got alotta soul

Right on time, always made of soul

Tell ya' what I'm gonna do

Drink a bottle of whiskey,

Then I'll play the blues for you

Tell ya' what I'm gonna do

Drink a bottle of whiskey,

Then I'll play the blues for you
