Drinkin` My Baby Goodbye Lyrics

Drinkin` My Baby Goodbye lyrics

Sittin’ on a bar stool,

Actin’ like a dern fool:

That’s what I’m a-doin’ today!

Sittin’ here drinkin’ -

Tryin’ to keep from thinkin’

I’m a-boozin’ my troubles away.

Well, now, I couldn’t make her stay.

Well, doggone her, anyway!

She can’t say that I didn’t try-y-y!

Pour me another one -

I’m finished with the other one.

I’m drinkin’ my baby good-bye.



Every time we disagree,

She was always askin’ me,

“Are you a man or a mouse?�

Now that she’s gone,

She prob’ly thinks that I’m home

Just a-mopin’ around the house.

She prob’ly thinks

That she’s the one thing

I just couldn’t get along without.

Well, wouldn’t it surprise her?

I got a sympathizer

As long as these bottles hold out.

Well, I’m a-sittin’ on a bar stool,

Actin’ like a dern fool:

That’s what I’m a-doin’ today!

And I’m sittin’ here drinkin’ -

Tryin’ to keep from thinkin’

I’m a-boozin’ my troubles away.

Well, now, I couldn’t make her stay.

Well, doggone her, anyway!

She can’t say that I didn’t try-y-y!

Pour me another one -

I’m finished with the other one.

I’m drinkin’ my baby good-bye.



Aaaaaaaaaa-yeeee!



Every time I tried to

Sit down and talk to her

It always ended up in a fuss.

I tried to reason with her

Right up to the time

That she got on that Greyhound bus.

It’d be better

If I could forget her

‘Cause she sure forgot about me.

And if it takes all night,

I’m gon’ do it right:

I’m gonna sit here till I can’t see!

Well, I’m a-sittin’ on a bar stool,

Actin’ like a dern fool:

That’s what I’m a-doin’ today!

And I’m sittin’ here drinkin’ -

Tryin’ to keep from thinkin’

I’m a-boozin’ my troubles away.

Well, now, I couldn’t make her stay.

Well, doggone her, anyway!

She can’t say that I didn’t try-y-y!

Pour me another one -

I’m finished with the other one.

I’m drinkin’ my baby good-bye.



Well, I’m a-sittin’ on a bar stool,

That’s what I’m a-doin’ today!

I’m a-boozin’ my troubles away.

Well, now, I couldn’t make her stay.

Well, doggone her, anyway!

She can’t say that I didn’t try-y-y!

Pour me another one -

I’m finished with the other one.

I’m drinkin’ my baby good-bye.

I said to pour me another one -

I’m finished with the other one.

I’m drinkin’ my baby good-bye.



I said, pour me another one -

I’m finished with the other one.

I’m drinkin’ my baby good-bye.
