Uncle Earl - Drinker Born lyrics

Drinker Born Rayna Gellert, Uncle Earl I called up my bootlegger Begged him to come to town Said if you don't bring me another quart of corn Gonna jump in that river and drown Gonna jump in that river and drown And it's oh, it's a hard life When you're a drinker born The only thing I ever did wrong Was take that first sip of corn My mama always told me Drink'll be the ruin of you Now I've lost my home and I've lost my love What is a poor girl to do Tell me what is a poor girl to do Chorus Now don't you see that lonesome dove Flying from pine to pine She's mourning for her own lost home Just like I mourn for mine Just like I mourn for mine Chorus Won't you pa** me your bottle Be it corn or rye If I don't get some whiskey soon Gonna lay me down and die Gonna lay me down and die Chorus
