Whiskey Store Blues Lyrics


I worked all day long out in the cold and snow
I come home lookin' for my supper
You're around some whiskey storeYou're just a whiskey drinkin' woman
We never will get very far
Because every time I wanna find you
I just go around some whiskey barI leave house written grocery bill
At home every week and every Monday mornin'
The landlord puts my clothes out in the streetBecause you're the whiskey drinkin' woman
We never will get very far
Well then every time I wanna find you
You're layin' around some whiskey barYou know our friends came around
To give us a nice time
You say, "Hurry, let's go to the liquor store
Before they change their mind"Just a whiskey drinkin' woman
We never will get very far
Well then every time I wanna find you
You're layin' around some whiskey barNow so you can pack up baby
Out for yourself you must go

I never see you nowhere
Unless I stop at some whiskey storeJust a whiskey drinkin' woman
We never will get very far
Well then every time I wanna find you
You're layin' around some whiskey bar
