Good Liquor Gonna Cary Me Down - Big Bill Broonzy

Lord, I know a little girl

'Bout sixteen years old

She says, «Bill, stop drinkin'

I will satisfy your soul

But I just keep on-a drinkin'

Yeah, I keep on drinkin'

Yeah, I just keep on drinkin'

Till good liquor carry me down

Now, my woman told me About fifteen years ago

«Bill, you gonna drink one of these mornings

And you’ll never drink no more

But I just keep on-a drinkin'

Yeah, I keep on drinkin'

Yeah, I just keep on drinkin'

Till good liquor carry me down

Yes, I went to the doctor

With my head in my hands

The doctor said, «Big Bill, I think

I’ll have to give you monkey glands»

But I just keep on-a drinkin'

Yeah, I keep on drinkin'

Yeah, I just keep on drinkin'

Till good liquor carry me down

Lord, my woman told me to stop drinkin'

And come on home

Say, «If you don’t big bill, some other man

Gonna carry your business home»

But I just keep on-a drinkin'

Yeah, I keep on drinkin'

Yeah, I just keep on drinkin'

Till good liquor carry me down
