lyrics

Head is pounding
Mouth is dry
Woke up this morning
Wailing why, oh why
Did I have that extra drink
Why did I have two more
And hell, three drinks after that
I wasn’t keeping score

Pour me
1 drink for my sorrows
1 drink for my sins
1 drink to let the devil out
1 more drink to keep him in
1 drink for my sorrows
1 drink for my sins
1 drink to let the devil out
1 more drink to keep him in

I said I wouldn’t do it
Swore never again
But never’s such an ugly word
When the whiskey’s free my friend
Hair of the dog that bit you
They say that’s the only cure
But that mean old dog bit me good and hard
So I better drink some more

Pour me
1 drink for my sorrows
1 drink for my sins
1 drink to let the devil out
1 more drink to keep him in
1 drink for my sorrows
1 drink for my sins
1 drink to let the devil out
1 more drink to keep him in

One more drink and then I’ll quit
I’m growing sick and tired of it
That’s what I say when I’m at home
But at the bar i don’t give a …
Moan and groan, fuss and fight
When I’m not drinking I don’t feel quite right
Just two more steps along the street
Mr Barman, won’t you make my night

Pour me
1 drink for my sorrows
1 drink for my sins
1 drink to let the devil out
1 more drink to keep him in
1 drink for my sorrows
1 drink for my sins
1 drink to let the devil out
1 more drink to keep him in
1 drink for my sorrows
1 drink for my sins
1 drink to let the devil out
1 more drink to keep him in
1 drink for my sorrows
1 drink for my sins
1 drink to let the devil out
1 more drink to keep him in

That’s what I need
