Uncle Earl - Drinker Born

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 pass 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
