Well she's a drinker, a heavy drinker
Much more so than you or I
And she's a drinker, a heavy drinker

Drain the well and leave you dry
Well she's a drinker, a heavy drinker
Much more so than you or I

And she's a drinker, a heavy drinker
Close the bar down every night
Close the bar down every night


Well young lady, pretty lady
Much more so than you or I

Young lady, pretty lady
She's got the diamonds in her eyes
Young lady, pretty lady

Much more so than you or I
Young lady, pretty lady
Reckless and wild


She's a drinker, a heavy drinker
Much more so than you or I

And she's a drinker, a heavy drinker
Drain the well and leave you dry
She's a drinker, a heavy drinker

Much more so than you or I
She's a drinker, a heavy drinker
Close the bar down every night


Well the boys say Kate I need ya
The boys say please come home

The boys say Kate you know I love ya,
But Kate is long gone.


And the ships have all come in
But no sign of her is found
She drank the whiskey

To the bottom of the ocean drowned

'Cause she's a drinker, a heavy drinker

Much more so than you or I
And she's a drinker, a heavy drinker
Drain the well and leave you dry

And she's a drinker, a heavy drinker
Much more so than you or I
And she's a drinker, a heavy drinker

Close the bar down every night
