Drinking Blues lyrics

Blues has got me drinkin`, trouble`s got me thinkin`,
and it`s goin` to carry me to my grave
I said blues has got me drinkin`, trouble`s got me thinkin`,
and it`s goin` to carry me to my grave
And I`m goin` to keep on drinkin`, the rest of my worried days

Don`t a woman look real funny, when she wakes up cold in hand,
and the broad ain`t got a dollar to give the house-rent man
Don`t a woman feel real funny, when the broad wakes up cold in hand,
and she ain`t got a dollar oh to meet the house-rent man

Trouble`s got me thinkin`, and I just can`t keep from drinkin`,
and I`m tryin` to drive my worried blues away
Trouble`s got me thinkin`, and I just can`t keep from drinkin`,
tryin` to drive my worried blues away
How I been worried each and every lonesome day

Now my heart is achin`, and whiskey`s all it`s takin`,
just to drive these blues away
Now my heart is achin`, and whiskey`s all it`s takin`,
just to drive these blues away
And I stay drunk each and every worried day

(spoken to the piano player:)
Beat `em a long time, baby
