1 What you gonna do when the liquor gives out, sweet thing? (2) What you gonna do when the liquor gives out?
A-standing on the corner with your mouth poked out, Sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing?
2 Danced all night with the bottle in my hand, A-looking for the woman ain't got no man.
3 Well, the boiler busted and the smokestack fell, Killed my darling dead as hell.
[298] |
