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

That's what i'm a doin' today

Sitting' here 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

So pour me another one i'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Every time 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

Well i'm sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a darn fool

That's what i'm a doin' today

And i'm sitting' here 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

So 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 end up in a fuss

I tried to reason with her right up to the time

That she got on that greyhound bus

It would be better if i could forget her

'Cause she sure forgot about me

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

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

Well i'm sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a darn fool

That's what i'm a doin' today

And i'm sittin' here 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

So pour me another one i'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Well i'm sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a darn fool

That's what i'm a doin' today

And i'm sittin' here 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

So pour me another one i'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

I said so pour me another one i'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

I said so pour me another one i'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
