What can a poor man do, you know when the blues keep bothering

Give him a half pint of good liquor,
                              C5   F5   C5   G5
and sit down and drink it all down

You know, sometimes I feel,
I feel like drinkin' me some gasoline
You know, sometimes I feel,
I feel like drinkin' me some gasoline
Strikin' me a match and blow myself up in steam

I feel I'm gonna move on back down south,
you know where the water tastes like cherry wine
I feel I'm gonna move on back down south,
you know where the water tastes like cherry wine
Because this crap of whiskey and water tastes to me like turpentine
