Got a taste for the Bourbon
Kissinâ mommy good-night when she had a few
If you had my kind of troubles,
Youâd drink like I do too
Ran away to join the circus
They said âBoy we got enough clowns like you.â
If you had the kind of rejection Iâve had
Youâd drink like I do too
Got a job at the Cemetery puttinâ dead folk in the ground
But them dead folk, they got to talkinâ to me
Woke up in a white room with my limbs all strapped down
got to âNawlins⦠found a Mojo woman who⦠said
âBoy you got a bad curse of Beaucoup Noir Voodoo
If you had my kind of troubles, itâs just my point of view
Youâd drink like I do too
Youâd drink like I do too
Went down to the Crossroads to see the Devil
And sell my soul for better luck on the spot
but that Devil said âOn the level, Boy you tryin to sell me what I already got!â
And thatâs my story, and Iâm tellinâ it to ya true
I been hauntinâ this here bar stool since Nineteen Thirty-Two
If you had my kind of troubles, Lawd Iâm tellinâ you
Youâd drink like I do too
lawd ⦠lawd ⦠lawd
If you had my kind of troubles, itâs just my point of view
Youâd drink like I do too ⦠Aw yeah
Youâd drink like I do too ⦠Ya know ya would
Youâd drink like I do too
