Alcohol And Jake Blues lyrics

Alcohol, alcohol, cryin`, sure Lord`s killing me (spoken: Is that so, boy?)
Alcohol, mama, sure, Lord, killing me (spoken: Ought to let it alone, then!)
Alcohol don`t kill me, I believe, Lord, I`ll never die

I woke up early this morning, crying, alcohol `round my bed (spoken: What happened then?)
Woke up this morning, alcohol was `round my bed
Says, ``I`m gonna get drunk, I`m gonna have to speak my trouble in mind``

Mmm, mmm, (spoken: Oh, moan it a long time) mmm
Mmm, I ain`t gonna be here long (spoken: Moan it a long time, boy)
Says, ``I`m leaving town, I`m going to worry you off my mind``

I drink so much of Jake, till it done give me the limber leg
(spoken: And that`s sure to mess you up)
Drinking so much of Jake, till it done give me the limber leg
(spoken: Sure messes you up, boy, [there`s no cure for] that)
If I don`t quit drinking it every morning, sure gonna kill me dead (spoken: You ain`t no lying man)

Mmm, mmm
Mmm, (spoken: You ain`t got), alcohol gonna kill me dead
And if it don`t kill me, Lord, it sure gonna put me down
(spoken: You ain`t gotta put `em on me `cause you got `em)

I woke up, up this morning, crying, alcohol on my mind
Woke up this morning, alcohol was on my mind
I got them alcohol blues and I can`t rest easy here
