Allison Moorer - One on the House lyrics

Mister bartender I'm speaking the truth When I tell you my mouth is bone dry I'd love four fingers of your hundred proof But I've run smack dab into hard times Wasted my fortune on having a ball Hit the bottle like a calf at a cow What I'm gonna ask you takes a whole lotta gall Do me a favor and gimme one on the house One on the house Can't say I'm proud of this life of mine But begging is brand new to me I cross my heart I'll buy you one next time As soon as I'm back on my feet Mister bartender you won't be the first To hear what I say and have doubts You can question my honesty but not my thirst Do me a favor and gimme one on the house One on the house Gimme one on the house One on the house I'm just a poor soul who wants to get soused Gimme one the house
