I love my woman, 'deed I do But that devil done made me blue She like fightin', that's her name But fightin' is the least about my lovin' game When that bad lady said to cut my gamblin' down I never even hesitate, I never frown I cut my poker, I cut my dice But now she dug deep into my life I've got the blues (He's got the blues) I've got the alcoholic blues No more beer To make things clear Goodbye whiskey, To make me frisky So long tequila, So long gin Oh, tell me when You comin' back again? Blues (He's got the blues) Ssince she cut my booze Lordy, Lordy, love is hard. You know, keepin' up my guard Oh, I've got the alcoholic blues (some blues) Tighten your belt that's her way This pretty girly drives me insane She make me thirsty, soon I'll die I'm simply gonna 'vap-o-rate, I'm just that dry I wouldn't mind to live forever in a trench Just if my daily thirst they only let me quench And not with root beer or ginger ail I want real stuff by the pail I've got the blues (He's got the blues) I've got the alcoholic blues No more wine To make me shine Goodbye bourbon, Kept me on the run So long cognac So long gin Oh, tell me when You comin' back again? Blues (He's got the blues) since she cut my booze Lordy, Lordy, love is hard, You know, keepin' up my guard Oh, I've got the alcoholic blues (Some blues) Oh, I've got the alcoholic blues (Some blues) Oh, I've got the alcoholic blues, (Some blues)
