Lyrics:

Close up the bar you know the gates of the brewery

She's out there every night

And she sure ain't drinkin' tea

I love that woman, she's the best one that I had

But she's got this habit now and it sure is gettin' bad



chorus:



That whiskey drinkin' woman

Is makin' a poor man out of me



She's got bottles in the kitchen

Even got them in my bed

Most times I see her now

She's three parts out of her head

Don't know where I went wrong

I sure try to treat her right

But it sure upsets me

Seein' her juiced up every night.



chorus:



lead:



Got to solve this problem

Won't you help me find the key

The way that things are going

I'll have to buy the distillery

She just stands there smilin'

With a whiskey in each hand

Got to think of something

Don't know how much I can stand



chorus:



Got to get myself together, start workin' something out

Maybe if I tried some booze, I'd know what it's about

I love that woman, she's the best one that I had

But she's got this problem now

And it sure is gettin' bad.



chorus:



lead:
