I don't know what my baby's gonna say when I get home
I know I should have gone
But the booze keeps a-flowing on
But by now, feel like standing on my own head
Let the booze flow out of my ears
But I really really really should go
'Cause I know that my baby's back home;
My sweet woman of the dreams stop a- teasing me with your smile
I gotta keep sober, keep my mind straight from red wine
I once did climb my mountain side, did swim the silver red seas
And once did caught the moonbeams
But now I have flipped to my whim
My dear old Uncle Adam had it right, baby, from the start
He never did get married nor did he break any poor girl's heart
All his life worked his fingers to the bones
But he jumped and he came home stoned
But you couldn't really call it his home
And I wish that I could be like him
