Joshua White Pigmeat And Whiskey Blues Lyrics

Pigmeat And Whiskey Blues Lyrics

I woke up this mornin', snake crawlin' in my hand

I woke up this mornin',
snake crawlin' in my hand

He was crawlin' out that whiskey bottle,
talkin' just like a natural man



Ah whiskey oh whiskey, why do you
treat me so?

Ah whiskey oh whiskey, why do you treat me so?

If I
ever get sober one more time, ain't gonna get drunk no more



I got
drunk last night folks, talkin' all out my head

Drunk last night, talkin'
all out my head

It wouldn't have been so bad, but my baby heard every word
I said



I was talkin' about that woman, live down across the
street

Talkin' about that woman, live down across the street

I used
to like her love, oh that hard pigmeat can't be beat



I got drunk
and give 'r all my money, pigmeat was better than all the gold

Drunk and
give her my money, pigmeat was just as good as gold

I ain't gon' drink no
more liquor, doggone my whiskey-drinkin' soul
