Ma Rainey - Dead Drunk Blues lyrics

Spoken: My man is freakish drunk this mornin'. Daddy say, "Be yourself" Oh, give me Houston, that's the place I crave Oh, give me Houston, that's the place I crave So when I'm dry, I drink whiskey is just made Oh, whiskey, whiskey, is some folks' downfall Oh, whiskey, whiskey, is some folks' downfall But if I don't get whiskey, I ain't no good at all When I was in Houston, drunk 'most every day When I was in Houston, drunk 'most every day Spoken: Lord, where the police? I drank so much whiskey, I thought I'd pa** away Have you ever been drunk, slept all in your clothes? Have you ever been drunk, slept all in your clothes? And when you woke up, felt like you's out of doors Daddy, I'm gon' get drunk, just one more time Spoken: Where's the whiskey bottle? Honey, I'm gonna get drunk, Papa, just one more time 'Cause when I'm drunk, nothin' don't worry my mind
