Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Close up the bar
And close the gates of the prairie
She's out there every night
Man, she sure ain't drinkin' tea
I love that woman
She's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now
And it sure it gettin' bad
[Verse 2]
That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man outta me
[Verse 3]
She's got bottles in the kitchen
Even got them in my bed
Most times I see her now
She's three parts out her head
Don't know where I went wrong
I sure try to treat her right
But it sure upsets me
Seein' her juiced up every night
[Verse 4]
That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me
[Verse 5]
Help me solve this problem
Won't you help me find the key?
The way that things are goin'
Have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smilin'
With a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something
Don't know how much I can stand
[Verse 6]
Whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man outta me
[Verse 7]
Got to get myself together
Start workin' somethin' out
Maybe if I tried some booze
I'd know what it's about
I love that woman
She's the best one that I had
She's got this habit now
It sure is gettin' bad
[Verse 8]
Whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man outta me
