My baby mistreat me

That ain't right at all

She got a man in my bedroom

Have to sleep out in the hall

That's why I just keep uh drinkin'

Tryin' to drive my blues away

The little girl I love

She long and slim

Every time she walk

You know it's too bad Jim

That's why I just keep uh drinkin'

Tryin' to drive my blues away

Well all right

You know I love you baby

I love you for myself

If you don't love me darlin'

You wont love nobody else

That's why I just keep uh drinkin'

Tryin' to drive my blues away

She make me look at things

I don't wanna see

She keep me up all night

You know I need to sleep

That's why I just keep up drinkin'

Tryin' to drive my blues away
