Jim Reeves Bottle Take Effect Lyrics

Bottle Take Effect Lyrics

Well I'm sittin' here a glass so near filled with my one concern

Oh bottle you've done led me to the point of no return

You took away my happy days my life's a total wreck

You took the only things I owned so bottle take effect

Take effect and take away these blues that drive me wild

Take effect make me forget these troubles for a while

Then just lead me to those lights of blue on the corner of regret

In some barroom I'll lose my gloom so bottle take effect

[ piano ]

You took away my fortune while I drank away my pride

Humiliations my misfortune and there's no place left to hide

The best place is the gutter there I won't need respect

Cause when in Rome you'll do as the Romans do oh bottle take effect

Take effect and take away all these blues...
