Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool

That's what I'm a doin' today

Sitting' her 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 goodbye

Everytime we disagreed

She was always askin' me

Are you a man or a mouse

Now that she's gone

She probably thinks 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

Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool

That's what I'm a doin' today

Sitting' her 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 goodbye

Every time I try to sit down and talk to her

It always ends up in a fuss

I tried to reason with her right up to the time

She got on that greyhound bus

It would be better if I could forget her

'Cause she sure forgot about me

And if takes all night I'm gonna' do it right

I'm gonna' sit here till I can't see

Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool

That's what I'm a doin' today

Sitting' her 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 goodbye

Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool

That's what I'm a doin' today

Sitting' her 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 goodbye

Pour me another one I'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Pour me another one I'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
