Lemont's Lament

Sad is the man who drinks with himself

To fog up the day that precedes

From sad then to happy from happy to bitter

That bitter old man is meHey, drink it all away

(Hey)

I said hey, drink it all away

(Hey)

And I dance for the light of the stars in the sky

And sleep all alone tonight1 for my headaches, 2 for the road

3 for my family and 4 for the show

5 for my sorrows, 6 for my wrongs

7 to hell with this songHey, drink it all away

(Hey)

I said hey, drink it all away

(Hey)

And I dance for the light of the stars in the sky

And sleep all alone tonight
