by the allman brothers band
from the fillmore concerts
well, yes, people i am a poor, drunken hearted boy.
well, yeah, people i am a poor, drunken hearted boy.
i have a whole ocean of trouble,
and just a little, half pint of joy.
i drink because i´m worried, i don´t drink because i´m dry.
i know if i keep on drinkin, i´m liable to drink away my life.
but that´s alright.
baby, bring me another half-a-pint,
i´m trying to drown these blues, yes i am.
people if you had my trouble,
baby, i know you´d be drinkin too.
alright.
baby, bring me some old grandad´s 100 proof.
don´t play like that man, you´ll make me thirsty.
oh, lord.
baby, if i keep on drinkin, i know i can´t last too long.
woman, if i keep on drinkin, people ya know i can´t last too long.
that´s alright, cause when i´m dead and buried,
please think about me when you hear this song.
