What Good Can Drinkin’ Do (Live)

[Spoken intro]

This is a song called What Good Can Drinkin' Do

That I wrote one night after drinking myself into a stupor

[Verse 1]

What good can drinkin' do

What good can drinkin' do

When I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue

[Verse 2]

There's a glass on the table

They say it's going to ease all my pain

There's a glass on the table

They say it's going to ease all my pain

When I drink it down

But the next day I feel the same

[Verse 3]

Give me whiskey

Give me bourbon, give me gin

Oh, give me whiskey

Give me bourbon, give me gin

It don't matter what I'm drinkin'

Long as it drowns the sorrow I'm in

[Verse 4]

Now, my man he left me

Child, and he left me here

Mm, my man he left me

Child, he left me here

When I'm feeling lowdown

Just get me another drink of beer

[Verse 5]

When I start drinking Friday

Start drinking Friday night

Lord, I start drinking Friday

Start drinking Friday night

But then I wake up on Sunday

Child, ain't nothing that's right

[Verse 1]

What good can drinkin' do

What good can drinkin' do

When I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue
