Drinker Born - Uncle Earl

作词：Rayna Gellert/Uncle Earl

作曲：Rayna Gellert/Uncle Earl

I called up my bootlegger

Begged him to come to town

Said if you don't bring me another quart of corn

Gonna jump in that river and drown

Gonna jump in that river and drown

And it s oh it s a hard life

When you re a drinker born

The only thing I ever did wrong

Was take that first sip of corn

My mama always told me

Drink ll be the ruin of you

Now I ve lost my home and I ve lost my love

What is a poor girl to do

Tell me what is a poor girl to do

Now don't you see that lonesome dove

Flying from pine to pine

She's mourning for her own lost home

Now don't you see that lonesome dove

Flying from pine to pine

She's mourning for her own lost home

Just like I mourn for mine

Just like I mourn for mine
