by

recording of 1966

I'd rather be sloppy drunk than anything I know 
I'd rather be sloppy drunk than anything I know 
Another half a pint, then you'll see me go 
My gal done quit me, for somebody else 
Oh, my gal done quit me, for somebody else 
Now I'm sloppy drunk again, sleeping all by myself 
Oh, I love my whiskey, tell the world I do 
Oh, I love my whiskey, telling the world I do 
And my reason for drinkin', tryin' to get along with you 
Oh, I drink while I'm up, drink until I'll fall 
I'm gonna drink while I'm up, drink until I'll fall 
If you tryin' to stop me drinkin', ain't saying nothing at all 
Oh, hey bartender, bring another half a pint 
Oh, hey bartender, bring another half a pint 
Two or three more drinks, I'm gonna raid this joint 
Yes! 
I'm sloppy drunk again 
I don't care who knows 
Yeahow!
