lyrics

Drunkard’s Dance: Mandolin / Harmonica
I reek like booze, and I’m bound to lose. All that whiskey is coursing through my veins. Like a still I smell and I’m bound for Hell, This time I think I’m going to lose my brain. I do that drunkard’s dance, homeward I am bound.
My luck has been bad, and this bottle is all I’ve had. You know that good rye whiskey is so sweet and smooth. Ain’t no friend by my side no place to go and hide. For this rough soul I’m just trying to sooth. But I do that drunkard’s dance homeward I am bound.
My legs are weak and I can barely speak. The room is spinning right in from of my eyes. Those street lights shine, I’m out of time. Like to get home before the sun’s up in the sky. I’ll do that drunkard’s dance homeward I am bound.
By the end of the night you know I must get right. I’m walking home when I’m leaving here. All the whiskey is gone, sang all my songs, what’s happening ain’t always clear. I do that drunkard’s dance homeward I am bound.
