Bottle Take Effect
Composer(s): Jim Reeves
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



Well I'm sittin' here 
A glass so near filled with my one concern
Oh bottle you've done led me to the point of no return
You took away my happy days 
My life's a total wreck
You took the only things I owned 
So bottle take effect
Take effect and take away these blues that drive me wild
Take effect make me forget these troubles for a while
Then just lead me to those lights of blue on the corner of regret
In some barroom I'll lose my gloom 
So bottle take effect

You took away my fortune while I drank away my pride
Humiliation's my misfortune and there's no place left to hide
The best place is the gutter 
There I won't need respect
'Cause when in Rome you'll do as the Romans do 
Oh bottle take effect
Take effect and take away all these blues...
