Well my daddy never drank no whiskey He never wet his liver with gin My momma said she loved nobody else But she really loved the drinking man

Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man

Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man
