The Charlie Daniels Band Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye lyrics

Well I'm sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a doin' today
Sitting' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin'
'Cause I'm a boozin' my troubles away

Now people I couldn't make her stay doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one
I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Every time we disagreed
She was always askin' me
Are you a man or a mouse?
Now that she's gone
She probably thinks I'm home
Just a mopin' around the house

She probably thinks that she's the one thing
I just couldn't get along without
Well wouldn't it surprise her I got a sympathizer
As long as these bottles hold out

'Cause I'm sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a doin' today
Sitting' her drinkin', tryin' to keep from thinkin'
I'm a boozin' my troubles away

Now I couldn't make her stay doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one
I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Every time I try to sit down and talk to her
It always end up in a fuss
I tried to reason with her right up to the time
She got on that greyhound bus


Now people we would been better if I could forget her
'Cause she sure forgot about me
Well if takes all night I'm gonna do it right
I'm gonna' sit here till I can't see

'Cause I'm sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a doin' today
I'm sitting' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin'
'Cause I'm a boozin' my troubles away

Now I couldn't make her stay doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one
I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Well I'm sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a doin' today
Sittin' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin'
'Cause I'm a boozin' my troubles away

Now I couldn't make her stay doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one
I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
Come on, pour me another one
I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Pour me another one
I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
