Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye

Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool That's what I'm a-doin' today Sitting' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin' I'm a boozin' my troubles away Well now I couldn't make her stay, well doggone her anyway She can't say that I didn't try. Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye. Everytime we disagreed She was always askin' me Are you a man or a mouse? Now that she's gone She probably thinks I'm home Just a mopin' around the house She probably thinks that she's the one thing I just couldn't get along without Well wouldn't it surprise her I got a sympathizer As long as these bottles hold out Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool That's what I'm a-doin' today. Sitting' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin' I'm a boozin' my troubles away. Well now I couldn't make her stay, well doggone her anyway She can't say that I didn't try. Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye. Every time I try to sit down and talk to her It always ends up in a fuss. I tried to reason with her right up to the time She got on that Greyhound bus. It would be better if I could forget her 'Cause she sure forgot about me. And if takes all night I'm gonna' do it right I'm gonna' sit here till I can't see.
