Drinker Born - Uncle Earl
I called up my bootlegger
Begged him to come to town
Said if you don t bring me another quart of corn
Gonna jump in that river and drown
Gonna jump in that river and drown
And it s oh it s a hard life
When you re a drinker born
The only thing I ever did wrong
Was take that first sip of corn
My mama always told me
Drink ll be the ruin of you
Now I ve lost my home and I ve lost my love
What is a poor girl to do
Tell me what is a poor girl to do
Now don t you see that lonesome dove
Flying from pine to pine
She s mourning for her own lost home
Now don’t you see that lonesome dove
Flying from pine to pine
She’s mourning for her own lost home
Just like I mourn for mine
Just like I mourn for mine
