Everybody Loves a Drinking Man lyrics

Well my daddy never drank no whiskey He never wet his liver with gin My momma said she loved nobody else But she really loved the drinking man Respectable though my daddy was Until he heard of mama's sin He drank every drop of liquor in this place And we never saw my daddy again Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man Well my uncle was a real good talker He'd talk the beak off a myna bird Until someone dropped a glass of whiskey in his hand He never said another word Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man So understand that people will judge you On your good and not your words So if you're looking for a favor or two You may likely die of thirst Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man
