The Blues: Man's Best Friend

Whiskey Headed Man © 1994

from the original version by
Tommy McClennon

He's a whiskey headed man, and he stays drunk all the time;
He's a whiskey headed man, and he stays drunk all the time;
Sure as he don't stop drinkin', I believe he's gonna lose his mind.

Every time I see that man, he's at the whiskey joint,
Tryin' to borrow some money, baby, to get one more half a pint.
He's a whiskey headed man, and he stays drunk all the time;
He's a whiskey headed man, and he stays drunk all the time;
Sure as he don't stop drinkin', I believe he's gonna lose his mind.

He can't buy his groceries, and he can't pay his rent,
Sits around aworryin' where all his money went.
He's a whiskey headed man, and he stays drunk all the time;
He's a whiskey headed man, and he stays drunk all the time;
Sure as he don't stop drinkin', I believe he's gonna lose his mind.

Drunk every night, drunk every day,
Whiskey got his soul, gonna lead him away.
He's a whiskey headed man, and he stays drunk all the time;
He's a whiskey headed man, and he stays drunk all the time;
Sure as he don't stop drinkin', I believe he's gonna lose his mind.

He's a whiskey headed man, and he stays drunk all the time;
He's a whiskey headed man, and he stays drunk all the time;
Sure as he don't stop drinkin', I believe he's gonna lose his mind.
