Close up the bar and close the gates of the brewery She's out there every night and she sure ain't drinkin' tea I love that woman, she's the best one that I had But she's got this habit now and it sure is gettin' bad That whiskey drinkin' woman is makin' a poor man outta me She's got bottles in the kitchen, even got them in my bed Most times I see her now, she's three parts out her head Don't know where I went wrong, I sure try to treat her right But it sure upsets me seein' her juiced up every night That whiskey drinkin' woman is makin' a poor man outta me Help me solve this problem, won't you help me find the key The way that things are goin', have to buy the distillery She just stands there smilin' with a whiskey in each hand Got to think of something, don't know how much I can stand Whiskey drinkin' woman is makin' a poor man outta me Got to get myself together, start workin' somethin' out Maybe if I tried some booze I'd know what it's about I love that woman, she's the best one that I had She's got this habit now, it sure is gettin' bad Whiskey drinkin' woman is makin' a poor man outta me
