Hung Over Songtext
von Archie Roach

I went out with the fellas last night once again
Knowing full well it would bring me great pain
But fool that I am I ignored what I knew
Drinking whiskey and wine and even home brew
I got home this morning from where I don′t know
My wife's just informed me that I′ll have to go
So down on my knees and down on the floor
I promised her I wouldn't do it no more

I'm hungover, hungover, feeling so sick
I′m as dry as the Simpson, my tongue′s a foot thick
I'd be oh so lucky to lay down and die
But all I can do is just sit here and cry


When she took me back and gave me a chance
I wanted to sing and I wanted to dance
But I just sat there as quiet as a mouse
And I wondered if I′d hid some booze in the house

I'm hungover, hungover, feeling so sick
I′m as dry as the Simpson, my tongue's a foot thick
I′d be oh so lucky to lay down and die
But all I can do is just sit here and cry

Well I searched high and low but I couldn't find
A drink that would calm my nerves and my mind
For a hair of the dog's the best cure I have found
Oh I wish that they′d put that mongrel dog down

So listen my friends to what I have to say
My drink is a crime and crime doesn′t pay
And money sure talks I cannot deny
It talks to me and says goodbye


I'm hungover, hungover, feeling so sick
I′m as dry as the Simpson, my tongue's a foot thick
I′d be oh so lucky to lay down and die
But all I can do is just sit here and cry
