Peetie Wheatstraw – Whiskey Head Blues

I am drunk now

Will be sober after a while

Well, now I am drunk now

Will be sober after a while

Well now, if I don’t get sober

Hoo-ooo-brown, please why don’t you let me die?

My fairasee made me mad

Whiskey now is all I known

Well, my baby made me mad

Whiskey, I said is all I’ve known

Well, now if you don’t want me, brown babe

Hm-mm-well, why in the world don’t you let me go?

You known I drink whiskey

Now before we ever met

Well now she known I drink whiskey

Now before we ever met

And I’ll guarantee, know right now

Um-um-well, that I’d been drinking whiskey yet

(piano)

Yes, I meant it, babe

Before I take this drink

Mm-mm, just remember babe

Before I take a drink

Well now, I wanna give you plenty time

Woo-well brown, now in this world to think

I am sorry, now

That I’m a whiskey-headed man

I say I’m sorry, now

That I’m a whiskey-headed man

But now I just want you go home

Hoo-well brown babe

Now do the best you can.
