Now I would rather be sloppy drunk
A-than anything I know
You know I'd rather be sloppy drunk

A-than anything I know
You know in another half-a-pint
Woman, an you will see me go


Now, my gal she done quit me
For somebody else

Now, my little gal she done quit me
For somebody else
Now, an' I'm sloppy drunk again, woman

Sleepin' all by myself

Now, I would rather be sloppy drunk

*Sip-tin, in the can
You know I would rather be sloppy drunk, woman
Sip-tin, in the can

Now, then be out in the street, mm
Runnin' from the man


Because, a-oh-oh, mm
A-bring another half-a-pit
Because, mm-mm-mm

Bring another half-a-pint
Now, an' I believe I'll get n' drunk
Baby, I'm gonna wreck this joint


Now, an' I love my moonshine whiskey
I tell thee world I do

Now, an' I love my moonshine whiskey
Tell thee the world I do
Now, but I drink some more whiskey

To get a-long with you

Now, an' I'm 'onna drink whiles I'm up, baby

Drink until I fall
Now, an' I'm gonna drink whiles I'm up, woman
Drink until I fall

Now, an if ya want me to stop drinkin' whiskey
You ain't talkin' bout nothin' at all!
