I've done a lot of laughing and a little bit of crying I've been a lot of places And made a mess of friends Got wedded to the whisky Should've been a good woman If I could re-live my days Changing my ways I'd not touch' a drop again
By the devil I was tempted And many jugs I've emptied I felt so rejected I didn't wanna go astray Half my life has been awasted By the booze I've tasted But the demon I have faced it And sent him on his way
I hope I'll be forgiven For all my bad livin' I had to make some changes 'Fore he got me in the end Now I've got a pretty woman She gives me good lovin' I can 't re-live all my days in a different way But I won't go astray again
By the devil I was tempted And many jugs I've emptied I felt so rejected I didn't wanna go astray Half my life has been awasted By the booze I've tasted But the demon I have faced it And sent him on his way
