The Hymn For Alcohol
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't stop me on the rum
Just because it makes me numb
Stop me on the whiskey
I know whiskey is his drink
You never drank it with me
But now you drink it with him
I'm not good enough for whiskey
Not good enough for you
Let's start drinking wine
We used to all the time
It used to go to our heads
But then you went to his bed
If the wine stains your lips red
Then tonight you might forget
You might not go home to him
You might stay here with me
It is just wishful thinking
That all this hard drinking
Might lure you back
To my ramshackle stable
There's no point in trying
The debutante was lying
When she said that she did something
That your lips could never do
And if you know what's true
You know I love you
Six months since you left
You must be truly blessed,
'Cause you look no less pretty
You may be more so
If you reap the seeds that you sow
Oh we both know you are going straight to hell
It is just wishful thinking
That all this hard drinking
Might lure you back
To my ramshackle stable
There's no point in trying
The debutante was lying
When she said that she did something
That your lips could never do
And if you know what's true
You know I love you
Don't stop me on the rum
Just because it makes me numb
Stop me on the whiskey
I know whiskey is his drink
You never drank it with me
But now you drink it with him
I'm not good enough for whiskey
Not good enough for you
