Lyrics:

Miller Anderson-Chrysalis Music Ltd.

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
