(chorus)
Sittin' on a barstool
actin' like a darn fool

that's what I'm a-doin' today
Sittin' here drinkin'
tryin' to keep from thinkin'

I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
Well now I couldn't make her stay
but 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

Well I'm-a

(chorus)


(spoken)
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 it takes all night

I'm gonna do it right
I'm gonna sit here till I can't see
Well I'm a-


(chorus 2x)


Pour me another one
I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye


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

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
