Getting Drunk Songtext
von Johnny “Guitar” Watson

Mmmmm

I′m gettin' drunk, I′m gettin' high
And here is the reason why
My baby, ooh, she left me
She didn't even say goodbye
Yeah, she been gone ever since the week before last
Got so high from this same glass
I′m gettin′ drunk, ooh, because baby's gone away

Yeah, she been gone so, oh, so long
And I′m not gonna have no fear
I'm gonna drink seven gallons of whiskey
And ′bout six or seven cases of beer
Yes, I'm gettin′ drunk, ooh, I don't know why
My baby's gone, I′m about to cry
I′m gettin' drunk, mmm, because baby′s gone away


Mmmmm
Hill and Hill, six-fifths of gin
Ooh, to wash the beer start over again
I'm gonna drink, ooh, I′m gonna drink some
I'm tellin′ you, 'bout this gin
Yes, I'm gettin′ drunk, don′t know why
My baby's gone, I′m about to cry
I'm gettin′ drunk, ooh, because baby's gone away
Let′s get drunk a little bit, alright

Ooh, I been drinkin', ooh, Lord
And I'm not gonna have no fear
She′s been gone, I′m drinkin' all sorts of whiskey
And just about six or seven cases of beer
Yes, she been gone ever since the week before last
Look out, Zim, hand me my glass
I′m gettin' drunk, mmm, because baby′s gone away
