The Drunken Boy

Cat. #0971 (MFH #737) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on March 11, 1970

VERSE 1
I once't had a fortune
Locked up in my trunk
Spent it all a gamblin'
One night when I was drunk

CHORUS:
I'll never get drunk anymore, anymore
I'll never get drunk anymore, anymore
Keep myself from th bar room door
I'll never get drunk anymore

VERSE 2
Seven long years I been married
Wish I was single again
A woman never knows her troubles
Until she's married to a man

VERSE 3
Down to the bar room, he staggered
Fell on th floor
Th last word he ever uttered
I'll never get drunk anymore
