Lyrics:
Miller Anderson-Chrysalis Music Ltd.Well my daddy never drank no whiskeyHe never wet his liver with ginMy momma said she loved nobody elseBut she really loved the drinking manRespectable though my daddy wasUntil he heard of mama's sinHe drank every drop of liquor in this placeAnd we never saw my daddy againBecause everybody loves a drinking manEverybody loves a drinking manWell my uncle was a real good talkerHe'd talk the beak off a myna birdUntil someone dropped a glass of whiskey in his handHe never said another wordBecause everybody loves a drinking manEverybody loves a drinking manSo understand that people will judge youOn your good and not your wordsSo if you're looking for a favor or twoYou may likely die of thirstBecause everybody loves a drinking manEverybody loves a drinking manEverybody loves a drinking manEverybody loves a drinking man
