I Gotta Get Drunk Paroles

I sure do dread it,
'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.
Start to spend my money callin' everybody honey,
And wind up singin' the blues.

And brother I can name you a few.

[Both:]
Well I have gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,

[Jones:]
Well, I gotta get drunk, Lord, I can't stay sober.
There's a lot of good people in town,
They love to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars,
I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down.
Well, there's a lot of good doctors keep a-tellin' me, “George,
You better start a-slowin' it down.”
