What Good Can Drinkin` Do Lyrics

What good can drinkin' do, what good can drinkin' do?

 Lord, I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue

 

 There's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain,

 And there's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain

 But I drink it down, an' the next day I feel the same

 

 Gimme whiskey, gimme bourbon, give me gin

 Oh, gimme whiskey, give me bourbon, gimme gin

 'Cause it don't matter what I'm drinkin', Lord, as long as it drown this
sorrow I'm in

 

 I start drinking Friday, I start drinking Friday night

 Lord, I start drinking Friday, start drinking Friday night

 But then I wake up on Sunday, child, there ain't nothin' that's right

 

 My man he left me, child, he left me here

 Yeah, my good man left me, went away and left me here

 Lord, I'm feelin' lowdown, just give me another glass of beer

 

 What good can drinkin' do, what good can drinkin' do?

 Well, I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue!
