Bad, bad whiskey, made me lose my happy home
Now I left home this mornin', I swore I've stopped and think
Made my friends a promise, I wouldn't even take a drink
Of that bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Made me lose my happy home
I stopped into a tavern, say hello to some friends of mine
I got to drinkin' good scotch whiskey, and I overstayed my time
I'm talkin' 'bout bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Made me lose my happy home
Ain't gonna tell nobody, ain't gonna drink no more
Woman that I was lovin', throwed me from her door
On account of bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Made me lose my happy home
Gimme one more drink
Gimme one more drink
Gimme one more drink
And I'll be on my way
