Pigmeat and Whiskey Blues Songtext
von Josh White

I woke up this mornin′, snake crawlin' in my hand
I woke up this mornin′, snake crawlin' in my hand
He was crawlin' out that whiskey bottle, talkin′ just like a natural man

Ah whiskey oh whiskey, why do you treat me so?
Ah whiskey oh whiskey, why do you treat me so?
If I ever get sober one more time, ain′t gonna get drunk no more


I got drunk last night folks, talkin' all out my head
Drunk last night, talkin′ all out my head
It wouldn't have been so bad, but my baby heard every word I said

I was talkin′ about that woman, live down across the street
Talkin' about that woman, live down across the street
I used to like her love, oh that hard pigmeat can′t be beat

I got drunk and give 'r all my money, pigmeat was better than all the gold
Drunk and give her my money, pigmeat was just as good as gold
I ain't gon′ drink no more liquor, doggone my whiskey-drinkin′ soul
