Текст пісні
Well, the other night when I came in drunk as I could be
Got tangled up in the old door latch
Fell flat on the floor as I could be
I had a little old bottle of rum and I did not have any more
The cap came off when I fell down and I spilled it in the floor
Well, a rat came out from his hiding
Place and he got that whiskey scent
He ran right up and he got a little shot and back to his hole he went
And back to his hole he went, and back to his hole he went
He ran right up and he got a little shot and back to his hole he went
Well, he came out from his hole again, trotted up to
The rum on the floor with a little bitty shine, he
Winked one eye and he got him a little drink more
Well, he didn't go back to his hole that
Time, he stayed by the pool of gin
He said, "Dog gone my pop-eyed soul, I'm gonna get drunk again."
Well, he didn't go back to his hole, he said, "Dog gone my soul
I'm only a rat but a dog gone cat may chase me back to my hole."
