Lyrics for Good Liquor Gonna Carry Me Down

I know a little girl, 'bout sixteen years old She said, "Will quit drinking and I will satisfy your soul But I'm gonna keep on drinking Yeah, I'll keep on drinking I'm gonna keep on drinking Til good liquor carry me down A woman told me 'bout fifteen years ago You're gonna drink one of these mornings and you will never drink no more But I will keep on drinking Yeah, I keep on drinking I'm gonna keep on drinking Til good liquor carry me down I wake up in the morning, I hold my bottle tight When I lay down at night well there's a gallon at my side Because I keep on drinking Yeah, I keep on drinking I'm gonna keep on drinking Til good liquor carry me down I went to the doctor with my head in my hands Doctor said, "hey Will I have to give you monkey glands Because you just keep on drinking Yeah, I keep on drinking And I'm gonna keep on drinking Til good liquor carry me down But my woman told me stop drinking, says stop drinking she's calling home She says, "if you don't stop it Will I may just But I will keep on drinking Yeah, I'll keep on drinking I'm gonna keep on drinking 'Til good liquor carry me down I'm gonna keep on drinking Til good liquor carry me down
