Mose Scarlett – Good Liquor Gonna Carry Me Down lyrics

I know a little girl
'Bout sixteen years old
Said, "Bill, stop your drinkin'
I will satisfy your soul"

But I just keep on drinkin'
Yes, I keep on drinkin'
Well, I just keep on drinkin'
Till good liquor carry me down

Now, my woman told me
About fifteen years ago
"Bill, you're gonna drink one of these mornings
And you'll never drink no more"

But I just keep on drinkin'
Yes, I keep on drinkin'
Well, I just keep on drinkin'
Till good liquor carry me down

Now I wake up in the morning
Hold my bottle tight
By the time I lay down at night
Mama, this whole gallon's out of sight

'Cause I just keep on drinkin'
Yes, I keep on drinkin'
Well, I just keep on drinkin'
Till good liquor carry me down

Well, I went to the doctor
With my head in my hands
Doctor said, "Big Bill, I think
I'll have to give you monkey glands"

'Cause you just keep on drinkin'
Yes, I keep on drinkin'
I'm gonna keep on drinkin'
Till good liquor carry me down

Well, my woman told me
"Quit your drinkin' come on home
'Cause if you don't big Bill, some other man
Gonna carry your business home"

But I just keep on drinkin'
Yes, I keep on drinkin'
I wanna keep on drinkin'
Till good liquor carry me down

Yeah there, keep on drinkin'
Till good liquor carry me down
Hmm, carry me down
Yes, carry me down
Oh, carry me down
