Everybody Loves a Drinking Man
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.
Well my daddy never drank no whiskey
He never wet his liver with gin
My momma said she loved nobody else
But she really loved the drinking man
Respectable though my daddy was
Until he heard of mama's sin
He drank every drop of liquor in this place
And we never saw my daddy again
Because everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man
Well my uncle was a real good talker
He'd talk the beak off a myna bird
Until someone dropped a glass of whiskey in his hand
He never said another word
Because everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man
So understand that people will judge you
On your good and not your words
So if you're looking for a favor or two
You may likely die of thirst
Because everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man
Everybody loves a drinking man
