Sloppy Drunk

I'd rather be sloppy drunk than anything i know
I'd rather be sloppy drunk than anything i know
Another half a pint, then you'll see me go
My gal done quit me, for somebody else
Oh my gal done quit me, for somebody else
Now i'm sloppy drunk again
Sleeping all by myself
Oh i love my whiskey
Tell the world i do
Oh i love my whiskey
Telling the world i do
And my reason for drinking'...
Tryin' to get along with you
Oh i drink while i'm up
Drink until i fall
I'm gonna drink while i'm up
Drink until i fall
If you tryin' to stop me drinkin
Ain't saying nothing at all
Oh, hey bartender
Bring another half a pint
Oh, hey bartender
Bring another half a pint
Two or three more drinks
I'm gonna raid this joint
Yes! i'm sloppy drunk again
I don't care who knows
Yeahow!
