Lyrics:

Sittin` on a bar stool,
Actin` like a dern fool:
That`s what I`m a-doin` today
Sittin` here drinkin`

Tryin` to keep from thinkin`
I`m a-boozin` my troubles away.
Well, now, I couldn`t make her stay.
Well, doggone her, anyway

She can`t say that I didn`t try
Pour me another one
I`m finished with the other one.
I`m drinkin` my baby good-bye.

Every time we disagree,
She was always askin` me,
Are you a man or a mouse?
Now that she`s gone,
She prob`ly thinks that I`m home
Just a-mopin` around the house.

She probably thinks
That she`s the one thing
I just couldn`t get along without.

Well, wouldn`t it surprise her?
I got a sympathizer
As long as these bottles hold out.

Well, I`m a-sittin` on a bar stool,
Actin` like a dern fool:
That`s what I`m a-doin` today
And I`m sittin` here drinkin`
Tryin` to keep from thinkin`
I`m a-boozin` my troubles away.

Well, now, I couldn`t make her stay.
Well, doggone her, anyway
She can`t say that I didn`t try
Pour me another one

I`m finished with the other one.
I`m drinkin` my baby good-bye.

Ah yeah

Every time I tried to
Sit down and talk to her
It always ended up in a fuss.

I tried to reason with her
Right up to the time
That she got on that Greyhound bus.
It`d be better
If I could forget her
'Cause she sure forgot about me.

And if it takes all night,
I`m gon` do it right:
I`m gonna sit here till I can`t see!
Well, I`m a-sittin` on a bar stool,
Actin` like a dern fool:

That`s what I`m a-doin` today
And I`m sittin` here drinkin`
Tryin` to keep from thinkin`
I`m a-boozin` my troubles away.

Well, now, I couldn`t make her stay.
Well, doggone her, anyway
She can`t say that I didn`t try
Pour me another one

I`m finished with the other one.
I`m drinkin` my baby good-bye.

Well, I`m a-sittin` on a bar stool,
Actin` like a dern fool:
That`s what I`m a-doin` today
And I`m sittin` here drinkin`
Tryin` to keep from thinkin`
I`m a-boozin` my troubles away.

Well, now, I couldn`t make her stay.
Well, doggone her, anyway
She can`t say that I didn`t try
Pour me another one
I`m finished with the other one.
I`m drinkin` my baby good-bye.

I said to pour me another one
I`m finished with the other one.
I`m drinkin` my baby good-bye
(Repeat)
