[Chorus] Sitting on a bar stool Acting like a dern fool That's what I'm a doin' today I'm sittin' here drinkin' Tryin' to keep a thinking I'm crusin' my troubles away Well now I couldn't make her stay Well dog gone her anyway She can't say that I didn't try-hi-hi Poor me another one I'm finished with the other one I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye Every time we disagree she was always asking me Are you a man or a mouse? Now that she's gone she probably thinks that I'm home just a moping around the house She probably thinks that she's the one thing I just couldn't get along without Well wouldn't this surprise her I gotta sympathize her as long as these bottles hold out
Well I'm a [Chorus] Every time I tried to sit down and talk with her it always ended up in a fuss I tried to reason with her right up till the time that she got on that Grayhound bus It'd be better if I just forget if 'cause she sure forgot about me And if it takes all night I'm gonna do it right I'm gonna sit here till I can't see Well I'm a [Chorus] Well I'm a [Chorus] I said to pour me another one I'm finished with the other one. I'm drinking my baby goodbye I said to pour me another one I'm finished with the other one. I'm drinking my baby goodbye
