I worked all day long
Out in the cold and snow
I come home lookin' for my supper
You're around some whiskey store
You're just a whiskey drinkin' woman
We never will get very far
Because every time I wanna find you
I just go around some whiskey bar
I leave house written grocery bill
At home every week
And every Monday mornin'
The landlord puts my clothes out in the street
Because you're the whiskey drinkin' woman
We never will get very far
Well then every time I wanna find you
You're layin' around some whiskey bar
You know our friends came around
To give us a nice time
You say, "Hurry let's go to the liquor store,
Before they change their mind"
Just a whiskey drinkin' woman
We never will get very far
Well then every time I wanna find you
You're layin' around some whiskey bar
Now so you can pack up baby
Out for yourself you must go
I never see you nowhere
Unless I stop at some whiskey store
Just a whiskey drinkin' woman
We never will get very far
Well then every time I wanna find you
You're layin' around some whiskey bar
