What good can drinkin' do? What good can drinkin' do?
Uh when I drink all night, but the next day I still feel blue.
There's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain.
Well, there's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain.
Oh when I drink it down, but the next day I still feel the same.
Give me whiskey, uh give me bourbon, give me gin.
Oh, give me whiskey, give me bourbon, give me gin.
It don't matter what I'm drinkin' as long as it drowns the sorrow I'm in.
Now, my man he left me, child an he left me here.
Um, my man he left me, child he left me here.
When I'm feelin' low down, just gimme another drink of beer.
When I start drinkin' Friday, start drinkin' Friday night.
Oh, I start drinkin' Friday, start drinking Friday night.
But, then I wake up on Sunday, child, ain't nothin' that's right.
What good can drinkin' do? What good can drinkin' do?
Well, I drink all night, But the next day I still feel blue.
